I'm sorry about your mom and dad. Is she better now?

Your experiences with Catholicism sound heartening. It's a bit different for me - I come from an old Catholic country, with churches everywhere, most of them big enough to contain several hundreds of people at a time. We usually don't know our priests and co-parishioners very well. We just come to the mass and then go back to our lives.

It's historically based - that's how it was organised for hundreds upon hundreds of years, starting with the times of Christianization, when going to mass was basically established as the one obligation of all the new Pagans-turned-Christians around. Later when Protestants started to rebel against "the old order" they started living in the slightly controlling religious collectives that in equal part protected them and dictated their daily lives. And later still people of various faiths and descent moved out of Europe, and formed similar types of communities because they really needed it.

In the mean time, Europe went through Enlightenment period, and decided it didn't like religion all that much. Let's keep it separate from the rest of our lives - it started off as separating religion from state, but sort of escalated into creating a small pocket universe to keep your religion in. (As to my limited knowledge, at the beginning of that time NA was still a province and just didn't bother, and later was... preoccupied).

So while USA is openly and joyously religious - joint trips to grocery stores and all - us Europeans guard our faiths jealously and with suspicion of anyone who wants to steal a glimpse of it. We're not ashamed or anything, but religion isn't really a social experience for us, it's a very private one. There are a lot of activities that one can engage in within the Church, but most people don't. I personally always kept away from things like that.

...aaaand I gave you a lecture. Sorry. But now that I wrote it all down, I can't really bring myself to delete it and let all those letters go to waste. Maybe you won't be too annoyed with me.

Wow. Yeah, that would be a bit of a culture shock. So, I take it, no annual church picnic in the park with a raffle and pony rides and face painting for the kids? No church tag sale? No holiday dinners? Or pancake breakfast? The Christmas pagent with the kids? Bummer. (And, yeah, the church I grew up with was probably built in my mother's life time. And, no, it can't fit hundreds of people. LOL.) Mind if I ask what country you're from?

Yeah, my mom recovered and is doing well. :)

I'm from Poland :)

In general, no, by which I mean - it's not something people just do as a part of their routine. But you could still do a lot with the Church if you wanted to, you would just be a part of smaller bunch within a larger bunch of all of us Catholics.

The Church is most definitely present around. The most common thing to do is go on pilgrimage, usually on foot, but can also be by bus or by bike. For some reason, a bunch of priests (and some devout-volunteers that I have no idea where they get from) goes annually to the largest music festival in Poland, sets up camp and just talks with people. (On the other side of the festival field Hare Krishna sell cheap food, it's a strange place to be).

There's a youth organisation called Oasis, which... creates a community of more Church-oriented youth? My mom belonged there, and even led a group, but I never did and I'm not sure what they do. They meet up, probably talk on a chosen topic? And additionally to that, go on trips, sing, gossip and become friends. I guess.

There's a lot of singing, actually. Almost every church has at least one group that sings religious songs during mass, and a lot them have choirs - some nothing short of professional.

There's this thing called Academic Ministry, which prepares retreat for students, and when my dad was young, they also organized a set of lectures with this really cool Bible specialist.

There's lots of different small communities that you could join within the Church.

There's also lots and lots of prayer groups, first-Friday-of-the-month meetings, adorations and rosary circles. That last one is also offered to kids, but most of the former are frequented mostly by the elderly.

You go regularly to church if you prepare to a sacrament. You frequent Religion class in school. There's some quite important public figures that are priest: poets and activists, philosophers, people that have something to do and people that have something to say.

So due to ideas of more active priests, we get annual religious youth festivals, or hospices run by Church, or religious TV and radio stations. There are three Catholic universities that I can think of at the top of my head.

...But, you might want to notice, this isn't exactly community-oriented. It's more... religion-oriented? Lots of spiritual activity, not so much face painting and pancake breakfast. A lot of parish priest organize things like a cheap holiday for kids that probably couldn't afford it otherwise. My own parish priest organized a cheap day care for chronically ill children. But let me tell you, when he set up a parish football team, it was a bit odd. Not terrible, but... strange.
