Going to church on Sunday morning is a tradition for most Catholics, but a new trend may be emerging: Sunday-evening Masses.
St Michael the Archangel in South Glens Falls is one of nearly a dozen parishes in the Diocese of Albany that offer a Sunday-night Mass. It's the only parish in that area with an evening Mass on Sundays.
Five years ago, parish priest Fr Guy Childs, started offering a 5:30 p.m. Mass on Sundays twice a month. It quickly became popular. In 2015, it became a weekly offering.
"It really does fit a need," the priest explained in an interview with The Evangelist, Albany's diocesan newspaper.
