Shocking. They are not Catholic.

The most shocking thing to me is that the same St. Isaac Jogues for whom this parish is named and which is now full of apostates, died a martyr for the Faith.

He went from being a literature professor to a missionary to the Amerindians.

Do the parishioners at his namesake church ever wonder who he was or why he was canonized?

Yes, I don't think they do, but it's important to at least attempt to bring it to people's attention.
