Thank you for sharing parts of your journey, Rob. That is disheartening that the mass was so lightly attended. The evening mass I made it to after my shift was attended by more people than I had honestly expected, but still far fewer than an average Sunday.

You helped by being there. I'm sure your priest appreciated your thanks. In a lot of ways, to be Catholic today is to marked by a sense of loss. Haunted by it even. That's something I struggled with as a convert on my own way into the church, and I can't say I really understand what to do in the face of that loss any more than you do.
