[quote=Anonymous]Back to OPs question, maybe try to find a larger parish?

The Catholic churches in this area are packed. Because they are so large, there is not as much push for volunteers. They welcome help, but there is not a constant stream of requests. Also, kids stay with their parents during Mass so ther is not a need to have you take your turn in the nursery.

When we were stationed in a southern state where most people were Baptists of some sort, our Catholic parish was tiny and as a result needed more help from volunteers.

Both the large and small parishes have benefits and drawbacks.

It seems in this area, tue mainstream protestant churches are all on the smaller size, and as a result have many of the issues you mentioned in your oriinal post.

Based on your comment about the nursery, I am assuming you are protestant and not Catholic.  So perhaps, if you want the faith recharge without the need for you to chip in, have you thought about looking at one of the bigger or mega churches? They are the type of protestant church in this area that seems to be bigger than the Catholic churches, so maybe they will be similar in that you can attend without being asked to do extra.

You would also get your spiritual needs met without being in as much of a fishbowl as you are in smaller churches.

I hope you find your place where you can connect with God.
