When you are Catholic, there's often not a lot of choice. There might be one church near you that serves a huge area. We have to drive 40 minutes to get to our church, for example. So that means the congregations are often really, really big.
Part of me likes that--a lot of diversity, lot of people bringing different gifts and possibilities, etc. But I do think it's harder to form relationships as a result, etc.
