Just heard that a Catholic priest offered Mass to a huge congregation of young people at 6am this morning.
And the same priest was up till 3am hearing confessions.
There is still hope for the future :)

Hope of what?

It's probably worth noting that's the first time in recent memory that the phrases 'Catholic priest' and 'young people' have been used together that haven't had an explicitly criminal implication, which I guess is an improvement?

Glasto legend - "I was so blitzed off my tits on MDMA I went to confession. LOL!"

Because the story talks about it being offered, not about it being taken up?

Offered or accepted AB - and define a 'huge congregation' - or do you just mean the 200,000 people who were at Glastonbury, all of whom presumably would have been 'offered' this service, although I suspect the vast, vast majority would not have chosen to take up the offer.
AB - about 1% of the population are regular catholic mass attenders, so that would be about 2000 of the 200,000 people at Glastonbury (presuming they are demographically representative of the mass attending population - they won't be by the way). So presumably some of those 2000 may have chosen also to attend mass while at Glastonbury as it was on offer.

It was probably the only place to get alcohol at 6am
