Delray had 23,000 residents in 1930. It now has approximately 3,100. In your cheerful observation about "people on the move" you somehow overlook white flight. You seemingly imply that these old residents have simply been replaced by new ones, when they haven't. It has been an exodus. Not Catholic enough? The numbers speak for themselves. Unbelievable. Yeah, maybe it was just that St. John Cantius was too dark, stale, and old for Metro Detroit Catholics. Yeah, that must be it.
