CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The pews are packed at many Charlotte-area Roman Catholic churches, but a scarcity of priests is leaving even some of the biggest parishes short-staffed and scrambling for help from retired and visiting clergy.
Recent examples aren't hard to find:
Just one full-time priest for months at 13,000-member St. Gabriel in Cotswold.
