I was at one at the weekend and I have to say I enjoyed it from start to finish. The priest did an excellent job of interacting with the kids and there was a real sense of joy in the church. Happy faces all round as people watched their kids sing and and do readings etc, and plenty of comedy moments when the priest was testing their knowledge.
There are people who are more interested in turning it into some dodgy fashion show, but by and large from my experience of actually going to them it is all about the kids.
