In this episode, we explore the notable rise in church attendance across Boston, particularly within the Catholic community. As Easter approaches, local parishes are experiencing a surge in congregants, with a remarkable 55% increase in adult membership over the past four years. Father Peter Schirripa of Gate of Heaven Parish shares insights on this spiritual revival, noting packed services and a renewed interest in the sacred.

Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox continue to face challenges on the field, suffering their seventh loss in eight games against the San Diego Padres. Despite a valiant effort from Masataka Yoshida, the Red Sox couldn't overcome the Padres' powerful lineup. Looking ahead, the Sox prepare to host the Milwaukee Brewers, with Brayan Bello set to pitch.

Boston's weather is mostly sunny today, with temperatures reaching the high forties. Looking ahead, rain is likely tomorrow, but sunshine is expected to return midweek, warming up to the upper sixties by Friday.
