We were surprised and gladdened by the positive way congregations reacted and one virtually empty car park was a joy to see. The weather was quite poor for the 6.00pm vigil Mass on Saturday, but it didn't deter the enthusiasm and it was great to hear people run through the entrance as if they had just completed a marathon. The children appreciated stickers declaring they had not come by car. Each congregation was given slips to complete, one per family, from which we were able to prove that it had been a statistical success.
The report page illustrates the day and shows the statistics. Because 83% of the congregation completed the enquiry slip we have decided to offer this event as a second substantial action under Sustainability. It is set to become an annual event.
