At Easter Masses I mentioned this powerful song, as performed by the amazing Liam Clancy. I spoke of it in the context of numbers getting fewer (though thankfully we had very good congregations for the Holy Week Ceremonies) but the reality is that numbers are in decline and I wanted us to think about that a little. Lest the “numbers get fewer” and someday no one might “pray” there at all. A truly frightening prospect.
