Eucharistic Pizza Leads to Surge in Church Attendance

Parishes piloting Eucharistic Pizza services are reporting record attendance. �I hadn�t been to Mass in years,� said one teen, �but the crust brought me back.� Pope Leo XIV�s soft rollout includes grace-before-garlic-bread moments and cheese-blessing rites. One bishop reported a spontaneous confession after a slice with spinach. Vatican officials remain cautious, but priests nationwide are installing pizza ovens. A new pew survey ranks stuffed crust as �most sacred.� Gluten-free hosts now come with optional pesto drizzle.
