[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nativity in Burke on the outskirts of Springfield. We have friends with similar religious backgrounds as your family and they have had positive experiences there. Nativity is a very young parish that focuses on youth and young families.

St. Raymond is very traditional.  There are many families that attend this parish; most are what you would consider the traditional large Catholic families. From my observation the average family size there is around four kids. If you are going to church primarily for worship over primarily for fellowship, this is the place to be. Its activities focus nearly 100% on the liturgical aspects of religion as opposed to the social side of religion, so it might not be the best fit for you.

St Bernadette is a very large and bustling parish. If you are from a recent iimmigrant background it might be the the best parish in the area for you. They do a lot of outreach to immigrant families. I remember it to be a very warm and welcoming place to worship when we attended a decade ago.[/quote]

One thing about St Raymond is that we e have released a lot about our Catholic church attending there. The pastor is very old school, but very passionate about sharing the theology of the Catholic church with his parishioners.

That said, I really think that Nativity is what you are looking for. It is wonderful parish for young families such as yours.

Good luck and welcome back. I hope you find the right parish home for your family.[/quote]
