The first "Mass Mob" in the Diocese of Lansing mobbed the noon Mass at St. Michael Parish today. I've been the St. Michael several times, for Corporate Communion as a Knight of Columbus & for the St. Patrick Day Mass last March. The Mass Mob in the Archdiocese of Detroit has been gathering geographically dispersed but devout & enthusiastic Catholics in small inner city parishes for at least two years now. I've loved the concept & am thrilled that it has both come to my diocese & that I'm a part of it. I cannot wait 'til the next Mass Mob, wherever it shall be!
