Fairmount Church Gets Big Boost In Attendance Thanks To Social Media
Saint Francis Xavier, The Oratory Catholic church
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A church in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia had a few more worshipers Sunday – about 300 more – thanks to a push on social media
.
It wasn’t a Flash Mob, but a “Mass Mob” at St. Francis Xavier, The Oratory Catholic church.
“I Decided to get a website together, a Facebook page, Twitter,”
says Ben DiFrancesco, a member of the parish who helped put “Mass Mob
Philly” together. “I put it out there and people really responded.”
DiFrancesco calls this a grassroots effort, with the Archdiocese’ blessing, inspired by a similar push in the Buffalo diocese.
