St. Thomas Aquinas has 1800. Several parishes, including Immaculat Conception, Good Shepherd, St. Hedwig, St. Stephen, and St. Charles have between 750 and 1000 each, which isn't perfect, but stable. St. Joseph has just over 500, but attracts more for the Tridentine Masses.<BR/>St. Hyacinth has just under 400. The bad news is at St. Michael and St. Martin de Porres, with about 250 each. Apparently, the liturgical dance troup and the dinner theater seating arrangement hasn't helped.Jeffrey Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05227411938775535934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142841714418512823.post-22792896448158832342008-03-24T11:35:00.000-05:002008-03-24T11:35:00.000-05:00Thank God for one city center parish that remains ...Thank God for one city center parish that remains alive and vibrant.

You'll find it at Immaculate Conception, Good Shepherd, Sacred Heart, the chapel at St. V's, and parts of St. Patrick's. <BR/>SS Peter and Paul has about 1500 parishioners.
