You bring up very important points. My church is part of a larger synod that gives it the ability to do some significant out reach but nothing compared to the size of the Catholic church.
Also to your point which I didn't even think of because I just take it for granite. We support a morning breakfast program for kids who go to the neighboring elementary school. We provide parking for the school and parents to pick up children. We provide rooms and space at a very minimal charge for many community groups, fitness groups, Scouts and Girl Guides, Kumon, etc...
It just shows you what a church can do for their community at a local level on top of the benevolence provided around the world.
Thanks for pointing that out Bjays93...
