Nuestra Señora Del Pilar started as a parish three years ago with 150 families. Nearly 1,300 Catholics now come to weekend Masses, and the parish hopes to raise $3.5 million for a new church.

Many credit the Way for infusing zeal. Participants generally meet midweek for a Gospel meditation service, on Saturdays for a vigil Mass and monthly for retreats of about 30 people.
