America has an article on the largest parish in the USA. They are humongous! But they seem to be handling it very well.

The article leaves some questions.
Is this the only parish in the area?
Do the priests visit the sick or lay volunteers?
Do the priests drop into all the various activities for a few minutes?
Do the priests teach religious ed? Adult formation?
This church, St. Matthew's, has big screens with the songs' lyrics displayed. Does this result in more people singing? Are their children Masses? How many altar servers do they have? How many priests have come from St. Matthew's? How many religious vocations?
The parish sounds wonderful, but for the few unanswered questions.
Does St. Matthew's have cushioned changing tables in the restroom?
