By Russell Collinge It is a fact that large numbers of people come to Cape Cod in the Summer. And quite a lot of these people are Catholics'. And ail these extra Catholics want to go to Mass. Which means that a p~rish may have its membership jump frQm 500 to two or, three thousand. Which means that nearly every church ,has a congregation that packs the aisles and over, ,flows to the steps and street.
