Catholic priests in New York are reportedly a sharp increase in the number of adult converts, the New York Post reports.
At St. Vincent Ferrer church on the Upper East Side, the pastor reports a tripling of the number of adults in classes for the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. At St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, Father Daniel Roy reports: “We’re running out of space and exploring adding new Masses.”
Converts who spoke to the Post cited a wide variety of reasons for turning to Catholicism, generally mentioning a need for spiritual solidity.
