(1) Third Voice about English Mass

Hello Fr,
 
Well , it seems last sunday homily didn't go over so well. I sense the frustration from  and some from you as well.
There have been many valid points  from both sides. These issues must be addressed in a thoughtful clear headed manner. Without the emotions that can lead to unwanted  results.
 
The point of view from  , in my humble opinion, is one of being relegated to a minor status, as a English-Korean parishioner. That english speaking parioshioners are a minority and treated as such. Case in point, is the fact that english mass is for convenience , cancelled. As well as for certain holidays.
 
That may not have been your intended goal, as it is, it may be "perceived" differently.  I put strong emphasis on perception Father, because, perception is everything.
 
The point that our church is ignoring the local community by not having a consistent english speaking mass.  Now, we don't really have a strong presence from the local area.  At one time, there seemed to be a growing number. We saw many African american families come, as well as spanish.  I don't see as many any more.  He feels it is due to the non existence  of any effort to retain them coming from the parish.
 
I say ,but there may be others who feel the same. You know, as well as I do, Koreans are non-confrontational. We tend to be stoic and hope for the better. Also, we tend to be overly polite and may not verbalize what we truly feel.
 
My issue was and is ,"how can we become a full service church"?  What I mean is how can SAK serve the local community?
