College Station Texas is on fire for Catholics - they prayed Planned Parenthood out of the town- 5 thriving Catholic Churches with 20 vocations a year❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Yes! 2 perpetual adoration chapels, absolutely thriving Catholic community. God brought me down there; and it was hard for me to leave when he called me somewhere else. St. Mary’s, St Thomas Aquinas, St. Joseph’s, St Anthony’s, and Santa Theresa’s are home to many faithful Catholics and I love them all ❤️🔥
The best city to raise a Catholic family is where there's a parish who has faithful parishioners that partake in the Sacraments and live their lives in their community in accordance with the Scripture, Magisterium, and Tradition. And they try to win souls to Christ and the Catholic Church.
Just moved to Ave Maria, FL a week ago! This town is the most Catholic place I have ever seen. People moving here from all over the country and homes cannot seem to be built fast enough for the demand. Loving it!
I live in a small town outside of Billings MT. There is a Catholic Church that attracts people from other places. It offers Traditional Latin Mass. We have members as far away as Northern Wyoming. Visiting Catholics come in for mass. Whenever I travel I look for a reverent Catholic Church for Sunday mass.
This warms my heart. To know that there are so many active and practicing Catholics in our nation. Oh bless us more Lord Jesus - we need you Father God and we love you with and in your Holy Spirit. Amen.
Mobile, Alabama is 1/3 Catholic. There is a Catholic church in every neighborhood. On Sundays, there are Masses from 7 am to 9:30 at night. Mobile is home to a Visitation monastery and a Carmelite monastery. The Sisters of Charity have run a Catholic hospital since the 1840s. Mobile also has the oldest college in Alabama - Spring Hill College, founded in 1830, is a Jesuit college. The number of Catholic grammar schools rivals the number of public grammar schools and the archdiocese runs 2 high schools. There are also 2 Catholic nursing homes.
I moved to Florida three years ago and have been very pleased with the Catholic parishes I have visited, especially the one that I call home. Churches are conservative, vibrant, ethnically diverse, and Sunday Masses are packed with young families.
It’s sad that San Antonio, TX, with its 3 major Catholic Universities didn’t make list, but our Archbishop is failing us! We’ve had many, many Catholic schools close under his watch and he completely ignores the poorest of his parishes. Very sad!
@@FrankRios2b that’s awesome! Of course you are on the North side of town and have a wealthy congregation. St. Margaret Mary’s is one of the most beautiful churches in SA, but sadly our congregation is one of the poorest. Our antiquated AC system goes out often and we have a hole in our ceiling that’s been there since before Covid! Our own priest had to get on the roof himself to repair it. I could go on and on about the repairs needed. We had to resort to keeping our adoration side chapel locked at all times except during mass times because the homeless kept going in and doing unmentionable acts! They destroy our fences and leave so much trash that it’s gotten to where we can’t keep up! Break ins and theft are a problem too. It’s so sad! It’s been years since Archbishop Gustavo has visited. He truly has forgotten us and this part of town needs this parish the most! God bless and be thankful for your affluent parish.
I live in New York City. Although it is liberal politically, the Archdiocese of New York serves the pastoral and spiritual needs of 2.5 million Catholics in nearly 300 parishes throughout its three boroughs of New York City and seven counties to the north. We also have some of the most beautiful churches here. I ✝New York.
@@SaintJoseph911 That's the general complaint here but I am a retiree on a fixed income with a simple lifestyle so no matter what happens to the economy, I do not feel the effect much. I always have enough food on the table, I have a nice small apartment in a building for low income seniors and I am able to feed my travel bug. There are many Catholic churches within a short distance, three of which offer TLM.
"All the evils of the world are due to lukewarm Catholics" - St. Pope Pius Just wait until faith is tested. The Heart of the matter is truly a matter of Heart.
Detroit has over 20 places where you can attend the Traditional Latin Mass, several traditionalist Catholic schools, monasteries and the Churches there Church building are incredible everywhere you go.
I am from California and spent 5 years in seminary. My wife is from Georgia but lived in Lafayette, Louisiana for many years. Most of her friends live there. I can confirm the strength of the communities. I have also seen beautiful liturgy there and wish I could find something like that in my home archdiocese.
@@kingcrool I forgot about them - the first church built in the Archdiocese, I think. I could live in that church, like Anna and Simeon in the Temple. When I lived in Houston , I went to Holy Rosary and loved the Dominicans priests. I would add that parish to your list. Knelt for Communion, only priests gave the Eucharist, etc.
I personally feel that the new attempt by Luther to destroy the only true faith is the FOOD ! When did a mass become a restaurant? My neighbor told me to go to the Baptist Church which is much closer than St Cabrini because their food at the Baptist “place” is much better!
Yes, Cincinnati for sure! I have adopted this as my hometown, and Catholic life here is quite vibrant. Check out our Cathedral St. Peter in Chains, St. Xavier, and Old St. Mary's, plus countless others!
I recently got a remote job based out of Cincinnati and did a week in office. Hearing radio advertisements for Fish Frys and debates over the best Catholic Parish on a top 40 radio station was a culture shock to say the least.
Conservative Catholicism may be growing, but Catholics all believe their parish is the best. My kids spent 12 years in Catholic schools, and hung around “Catholic” families. The sad fact is that most Catholics are lukewarm, dipping their toe in the water, just in case - the humanistic qualities of The Church has led to indifferentism (all Christians are alike) even within the religious. Of course, parishioners are generally nice people, but that will not get you through the narrow gates.
Greenville SC is an area with explosive growth amongst practicing Catholics. Our diocese recently had an article published about our success and growth by the National Catholic Register. We offer many reverent parishes, great Catholic education from K-12 and a 2 year college, and incredible opportunities for those of all ages to actively participate and grow in Faith and Devotion.
Lincoln Nebraska. Technically a small city more like a big suburb, but has to be one of the best Catholic cities in the US. Adequate amounts of priests, affordable Catholic education, and very traditionally minded clergy and laity.
Wichita, Kansas; Phoenix, Arizona; St. Louis, Missouri; La Fayetta, Louisiana ; Cincinatti, Ohio ; Evansville, Indiana. Wow. Did not expect the last one.
It's not altogether surprised to see a resurgence of Catholicism in areas traditionally associated with the Bible Belt. "Iron sharpens iron," as the old adage goes; the (constant) debates and disagreements with Protestant denominations have compelled Catholics to refine their faith and theology in ways that might not be as prevalent elsewhere.
I believe that atheism/humanism/marxism is causing many Protestants to come into Holy Mother Church, particularly the traditional parishes. Rather than refine their faith, Catholics are going back to what the Church has always taught, but sort of forgotten. Here is a short clip (1min. 40sec) from last week in Cincinnati. m.czcams.com/video/DBdstlsll98/video.html
Nashville, TN is a hidden gem with a very strong young Catholic influence. Nashville's Cathedral of the Incarnation hosts masses for University Catholics, their masses are open to everyone and some of the best you'll attend.
Dallas-Fort Worth Metro in Texas. Both dioceses have great bishops that support tradition and orthodox teachings and both cities are home to FSSP Parishes that practice the TLM. Many beautiful churches and the cathedrals in both cities are amazing. Many Catholic schools and also one of the areas in the US that has seen a lot of growth/converts to Catholicism.
Yeah but waiting over an hour to give confession because you have only one priest for each of the Mega Churches is rough. Guadalupe Radio though is insanely good and is a great conduit for EWTN's programming.
Well for famous Catholics in DFW we have Trent Horn from Catholic Answers and his podcast "The Counsel of Trent", along with Dr. Italy Marcellino D'Ambrosio.
Phoenix is a great diocese, but Bishop O'Brien was a reason for its financial troubles, scandals, and broad heretical malfeasance. Bishop Thomas Olmsted, ironically of Wichita, was really the one who set up the Diocese of Phoenix as something admirable. O'Brien was found guilty of multiple dui violations including hit-and-runs where people got hurt. Bishop Olmsted was the man you should have featured. Not only did he clean up the messed of the previous administration, but he revitalized and made orthodox a failing diocese.
Columbus OH in recent years has been a good city to be Catholic. Bishop Earl Fernandes is young, orthodox, and defends the truth. Within the past few years he's done a lot of work to improve parish liturgical life, and is known for ousting a liberal religious order that ran the Ohio State Newman center. There are a lot of active parishes with good liturgy, and there are a great number of lay ministries and missionary organizations present. Seminarian vocations have also doubled in past years and are set to grow even more.
I've watched him since he came through the Archdiocese of Cincinnati where Archbishop Schnurr has done an amazing job. Our once nearly empty seminary almost closed. With Archbishop Schnurr leading us, we recently had to expand the seminary for the first time since before vatican2. Its been awesome to see that growth spread into your diocese! We are truly blessed here in Ohio!
The Archdiocese of Denver, Colorado is also a great place. Unfortunately the city itself has become liberal and godless, but the Catholic community here is still thriving. There's an abundance of great parishes, Catholic schools, and even TLM parishes. Archbishops Chaput and Aquila have been great orthodox leaders. And don't forget, JP2 chose Denver for the first World Youth Day because he saw it as the seat of the New Evangelization!
I’m from Evansville and it’s so true. It’s incredible and it has a large young adult population that are devout. They fill up daily mass on Mondays and they produce many seminarians. Great catholic schools and parishes. Extremely conservative and traditional.
Omaha, Ne. Just miles from the FSSP seminary with FSSP parish. And a grand cathedral with Catholic parishes on every corner and a dozen schools and colleges for Catholic learning.
Can locals tell me please, Which Parishes offer the TLM on a daily basis, Regardless if they are SSPX, or ICKSP of FSSP please ? I want to move to a Parish where I can attend Mass daily. T I.A. 🙏

I went there about a month ago and there was a crazy ammount of Voodoo and New Age stuff going around. Also it has one of the highest murder rates in the US, probably has something to do with the Voodoo activity there
@@TheHokkaidogaijin Yes you can, you just don't go where the usual suspects are. Been around New Orleans my entire life and haven't had an issue. Not to mention they have a great traditional parish downtown.
Not sure what to make of this video. Long on opinion and historical background, short on the things that would get me to relocate to any of these cities.
It’s a tricky thing to put together. It’s hard to ‘quantify’ how Catholic a place is.. I could try to calculate how many Catholics live somewhere or how many parishes they have… but it seems that it’s really based on subjectivity. A feeling they get when a person goes to mass and sees lots of young families, etc. Hard to convey that in a video.
@@purely_catholic I agree that is can be hard to quantify. Number of parishes compared to the size of the city could be a metric. I don't know if the diocese can provide a number of parishioners, but if they can, comparing that to the population of the city. Comparing the number of Catholic parishes against the total number of Christian churches could be useful. (I live in Jacksonville, Florida and this city seems to have TWO Protestsnt churches on every block.) Some other possible metrics could be the number of Catholic schools compared to the size of the local school district. That would be important to parents of school-age children. Any Catholic institutions of higher education? Any other Catholic institutions, i.e. Monistaries or Abbeys? Sizable Catholic charities? The list could go on and on, but I think the horse is dead already.
I don't know how it compares to the other cities mentioned but I recently started living in St. Paul MN and as a native of Minnesota and the Minneapolis area I have to say how surprised I was by how much more sane St. Paul is by comparison to Minneapolis. You still have Woke people in St. Paul but I think its hard not to find that stuff anywhere anymore. Even my visits to what I thought would have more of a small town feel still had your rainbow flag churches and rainbow flag libraries and Universities.
The Cathedral in Lafayette Louisiana is the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, not the Baptist. It is a beautiful church and agree it is one of the best places to be and raise a catholic family.
I'm from Lafayette. It's very Catholic here. But unfortunately, it's more "Cultural Catholic" than authentic Catholic here. There are more "Catholics" who are not practicing their faith than the real devout Catholics who are here. If anything, I wish we were more like Wichita.... pray for us to get better. ❤❤❤
While I am not a Catholic, I was raised in St. Louis, where there were a great number of Catholic people around. Now I live in Central Florida and know only a couple of handfuls if Catholics.
St Louis, MO hasn't been Catholic since before WWII. Lots of "Catholic" institutions, but no faith. And I would stay as far away from St. Meinrad as humanly possible.
The Archdiocese of St. Louis, due to a loving and enlightened laity and the leadership of the late Cardinal Ritter is maybe the most advanced diocese as far as racial justice. Catholic schools were integrated while the public school were still segregated.
I'd have to say, El Paso, Texas. It has over 50 parishes, the two churches (Yselta Mission and Socorro Mission_ date back to the 1680's, and the faithful Catholic have kept that city safe from the multiple immigration waves, dating back to the 1900s. Plus, the violence, from Juarez has not poured over, thus I would say that the over 500,000 catholic within that diocese, have done what they. And there is no abortion clinic in a city of 600,000.
I lived in a small town about 80 miles from San Antonio. I am old and live in Alabama, but would still love to visit the missions there. Have visited the beautiful missions in Goliad. If I could move back to Texas, I would choose San Antonio or closer to S.A. than my hometown. My hometown parish was in Corpus Christi Diocese but is now in San Antonio. God bless Texas and all Catholics. I pray Bishop Strickland is reinstated (among others) so wrongly cancelled and now excommunicated - still in shock about that.
Meant to say the sisters who taught us in grade school, Sisters of Divine Providence, were based in San Antonio. They would return there for the summer.
Atlanta, GA has vibrant Catholics. Not sure how this list was created. Did he factor in how many perpetual adoration chapels were in the cities? Because that's what really matters!
Surprised Baltimore isn't on the list as it's considered the home of American Catholicism and Maryland was founded as a place for Catholics to worship freely.
I sense a lot of pre 1950 spirit in the naratives about these locales. Not much Vatican Council Holy Spirit seems to be about according to these narratives. I hope I am wrong. I am in my 80's and get a real 1940 1950 summer parish festival vibe from these stories. Not much spreading Christ"s Love and message going on there.
@jimorr820 I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA and am a Catholic reconnecting with my faith, which is getting stronger every day. Pittsburgh has the most relics outside of The Vatican, it was recently revealed. Check it out.
I appreciate this report, but am wondering from where many of your pictures were derived. I didn’t see the ethnic diversity of which many parishes enjoy. To my Catholic sensibility a significant marker is the inclusion of all ethnicities as children of God.
Exactly! I can’t remember where I saw or who said it but someone mentioned once that we have sort of a duty (especially in our hometown) to stay and help change it for the better not leave it to rot. We have a responsibility to make the place we were born at a better place for its citizens and our future progeny
The French Catholics of Quebec left the Catholic Church enmass or wholesale. Enter any local massive Catholic Churchcin Quebec and they are eeirily empty. Shiny andvlooks brand new but empty. Google Catholic Church in Quebec. Good luck Roman Catholics.
The other day I picked a conversation with a person, then I realized it was an Ai all the time, when I realized I thumb down the video and unsubscribe, because the person was using religion to make money.

Not sure what to make of this video. Long on opinion and historical background, short on the things that would get me to relocate to any of these cities.
It’s a tricky thing to put together. It’s hard to ‘quantify’ how Catholic a place is.. I could try to calculate how many Catholics live somewhere or how many parishes they have… but it seems that it’s really based on subjectivity. A feeling they get when a person goes to mass and sees lots of young families, etc. Hard to convey that in a video.
@@purely_catholic I agree that is can be hard to quantify. Number of parishes compared to the size of the city could be a metric. I don't know if the diocese can provide a number of parishioners, but if they can, comparing that to the population of the city. Comparing the number of Catholic parishes against the total number of Christian churches could be useful. (I live in Jacksonville, Florida and this city seems to have TWO Protestsnt churches on every block.)
Some other possible metrics could be the number of Catholic schools compared to the size of the local school district. That would be important to parents of school-age children. Any Catholic institutions of higher education? Any other Catholic institutions, i.e. Monistaries or Abbeys? Sizable Catholic charities?
The list could go on and on, but I think the horse is dead already.
Cincinnati on this list is hilarious. They are closing churches left and right.
I was surprised to not see Lincoln or Denver.
I don't know how it compares to the other cities mentioned but I recently started living in St. Paul MN and as a native of Minnesota and the Minneapolis area I have to say how surprised I was by how much more sane St. Paul is by comparison to Minneapolis. You still have Woke people in St. Paul but I think its hard not to find that stuff anywhere anymore. Even my visits to what I thought would have more of a small town feel still had your rainbow flag churches and rainbow flag libraries and Universities.
0:32 looks a lot like St. Michael's in Glen Allen, VA ~
The Cathedral in Lafayette Louisiana is the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, not the Baptist. It is a beautiful church and agree it is one of the best places to be and raise a catholic family.
Thank you 🙏🏼
When I was growing up as a teenager, Joliet, IL was 80% Catholic.
Nice - I grew up in Naperville… spent some time in Joliet
good to know!
Super interesting. Thank you for sharing. May God’s blessings (continue to) overflow for each one of these cities. 🤍🙏🏻😁
Maria Stein Ohio home of the second largest relics in the USA. Many Catholic churches in Mercer county and Auglaize county ohio
I'm from Lafayette. It's very Catholic here. But unfortunately, it's more "Cultural Catholic" than authentic Catholic here. There are more "Catholics" who are not practicing their faith than the real devout Catholics who are here. If anything, I wish we were more like Wichita.... pray for us to get better. ❤❤❤
The catholic reddit is something else man
While I am not a Catholic, I was raised in St. Louis, where there were a great number of Catholic people around. Now I live in Central Florida and know only a couple of handfuls if Catholics.
St Louis, MO hasn't been Catholic since before WWII. Lots of "Catholic" institutions, but no faith. And I would stay as far away from St. Meinrad as humanly possible.
I would disagree the cathedral is great NO and also lots of beautiful TLM masses
The Archdiocese of St. Louis, due to a loving and enlightened laity and the leadership of the late Cardinal Ritter is maybe the most advanced diocese as far as racial justice. Catholic schools were integrated while the public school were still segregated.
To God Be The Glory Amen JMJ Amen 🙏 ❤
Milwaukee, WI has a large and thriving Catholic community, especially young adults.
I'd have to say, El Paso, Texas. It has over 50 parishes, the two churches (Yselta Mission and Socorro Mission_ date back to the 1680's, and the faithful Catholic have kept that city safe from the multiple immigration waves, dating back to the 1900s. Plus, the violence, from Juarez has not poured over, thus I would say that the over 500,000 catholic within that diocese, have done what they. And there is no abortion clinic in a city of 600,000.
I lived in a small town about 80 miles from San Antonio. I am old and live in Alabama, but would still love to visit the missions there. Have visited the beautiful missions in Goliad. If I could move back to Texas, I would choose San Antonio or closer to S.A. than my hometown. My hometown parish was in Corpus Christi Diocese but is now in San Antonio. God bless Texas and all Catholics. I pray Bishop Strickland is reinstated (among others) so wrongly cancelled and now excommunicated - still in shock about that.
Meant to say the sisters who taught us in grade school, Sisters of Divine Providence, were based in San Antonio. They would return there for the summer.
Watcing from India ❤❤❤❤
Kind of surprising, but Memphis, TN.. it’s not a “Catholic city”.. but a great place to be Catholic. Numerous great parish options with good priests
Cleveland had one of the largest Catholics populations as well as the most Orthodox churches in America.
South Bend, IN. Because of Notre Dame there is a lot of Catholic culture and education. Bishop Kevin Rhoades is very good.
No way Lincoln, NE is not on this list
Visit Aparecida in Brazil, it’s beautiful
#1 is Evansville where girl altar boys wear cassocks 🤣🤣🤣
Girl "alter boys " is Vatican ll and goes against traditional Catholic teaching
God, have mercy on Us. Forgive us our sins. Protect Us from evil. Amen
Louisville Ky good Catholic city
Lincoln, NE
There is the Roman Catholic Church and then there is the New Church of Modernity. Be careful of which one you are attending/observing.
Atlanta, GA has vibrant Catholics. Not sure how this list was created. Did he factor in how many perpetual adoration chapels were in the cities? Because that's what really matters!
Surprised Baltimore isn't on the list as it's considered the home of American Catholicism and Maryland was founded as a place for Catholics to worship freely.
Fort Wayne, Indiana is an another great Catholic City. An FSSP and an SSPX Chapel.
I want to know the best Catholic cities to raise a family in Canada are
Does this mean higher s5andard of living and strong community spirit?
No poverty, no homelessness and no crime??
St. Paul, Minnesota… the government is liberal but there are some great schools, parishes and Catholic culture.
How come New Britain Ct is not on this list? After all New Britain is heavily Polish and Catholic
I sense a lot of pre 1950 spirit in the naratives about these locales. Not much Vatican Council Holy Spirit seems to be about according to these narratives. I hope I am wrong. I am in my 80's and get a real 1940 1950 summer parish festival vibe from these stories. Not much spreading Christ"s Love and message going on there.
What are you yapping about
catholic churches a dying here in australia.The school system is still solid.
Holy Mary
Where are you located in Australia?
Dying churches occur because parishioners are too focused on self and refuse to open oneself to the church.
Are you sure?
@@judithbriones5882 greetings dear, I'm sorry for late response due to the service here
Indianapolis hosts NCYC, not Evansville.
Probably meant Right to life, which Evansville hosts the largest Right to life event in the US
Did you even look at Pittsburgh?
@jimorr820 I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA and am a Catholic reconnecting with my faith, which is getting stronger every day. Pittsburgh has the most relics outside of The Vatican, it was recently revealed. Check it out.
Where’s Lincoln ne?
Do it for Europe!
So there are Traditional Masses in these cities.🤣
I appreciate this report, but am wondering from where many of your pictures were derived. I didn’t see the ethnic diversity of which many parishes enjoy. To my Catholic sensibility a significant marker is the inclusion of all ethnicities as children of God.
St. Louis?!?! Now THAT'S hilarious. Kansas City, Missouri and Lincoln, Nebraska should be on this list.
St Louis is much more catholic than KCMO
Yeah St. Louis is way than any of the others you mentioned
Lincoln should fs be on the list
Most of the catholics are in kck. Heavy Latino population there
If all Catholics move to these places, who is going to evangelize the rest of Babylons, I mean cities.
Exactly! I can’t remember where I saw or who said it but someone mentioned once that we have sort of a duty (especially in our hometown) to stay and help change it for the better not leave it to rot. We have a responsibility to make the place we were born at a better place for its citizens and our future progeny
"Top six cities" uh huh
There’s Clinton standing in one of those pictures and we’re supposed to be convinced that’s a good place to raise kids?
*in the US
They all look mostly N.O. I didn't see many traditional.😢
The catholic diocese of wichita has the TLM every Sunday at st Joseph parish in wichita and also has an sspx chapel
Hmm no Saint Mary’s
Cual la de fsspx ?
The French Catholics of Quebec left the Catholic Church enmass or wholesale.

Google Catholic Church in Quebec.
Good luck Roman Catholics.
San antonio being one of the most catholic cities in the country and its not on here lol reddit at its finest
The other day I picked a conversation with a person, then I realized it was an Ai all the time, when I realized I thumb down the video and unsubscribe, because the person was using religion to make money.
