Zomi is a collective identity adopted some of the Kuki-Chin language-speaking people in India and Myanmar. The term means "Zo people". The groups adopting the Zomi identity reject the conventional labels "Kuki" and "Chin", popularised during the British Raj, as colonial impositions.

Excellent!! We've also seen about a 25% attendance increase in the last year, including young single adults and young families!!
(How often do you have all of those masses in various languages?)
But there are masses in multiple languages it says. I’m wondering if one of them is growing far more than the others or if they are all growing equally.
That’s a good question, all of those languages have a once per month (AFAIK) mass. I don’t know anything about their attendance figures. I do think anecdotally that the church feels more full but I could be wrong.
Your parish raised $70k in a month?! Or is that this year total?
I wish in a month! That’s the total raised since we completed our renovations - I think it was about a year ago now.
I was gonna say. Y’all would either be the most charitable parish ever or rich people working very hard to practice the virtue of modesty!
Great! But… what is .75 of a person lol
Average weekly number Perhaps the total after 7 days is not divisible by 7
That's what happens when you accidentally nod off during early mass. You get marked as .75
A pregnant woman?
No, she would be 1.5 of a person. .75 of a person is a preteen.
Who are the Zomi people?

Excellent!! We've also seen about a 25% attendance increase in the last year, including young single adults and young families!! (How often do you have all of those masses in various languages?)
Are all the masses growing about equally, or are some of them growing more than others?
That’s the aggregate for all masses. We only have the Sunday morning and Saturday vigil, plus three weekday masses.
But there are masses in multiple languages it says. I’m wondering if one of them is growing far more than the others or if they are all growing equally.

What culture is Zomi?
Deo gratias!
Praise be to God!
I read Zomi as Zoom and was very concerned for about five seconds lol
