Yeah, I still go, and they really haven't changed much. The songs are very much the same, and the gospels definitely haven't changed. Usually within the first two sentences, I instantly know what gospel passage they picked for the week and definitely remember the whole story and meaning behind it.

I'm mainly there because it gets me off my butt to go pray with the rest of the parish, kind of like getting off your butt to go to an exercise class or something like that when you could still exercise at home if you really wanted to.

It also helps if the parish you go to has good pastors. We have a good one named Father Joe who likes to tell his sermons with a bit of humor or interesting recollections. The other two are a bit dry though and my mind tends to wander toward the second half of their sermon. XP
