Current Status. (we can add to the site over time ... I am just thinking of getting some details up for now)

Here is where we begin to provide stats that "make the case" for a new church.

Stats on Warren County population growth, Catholic population growth, # of priests, # of activities, sacramental stats, etc

 

We can include brief lines of text or convert to pretty graphics that are pleasing to the eye.

 

1940 — 114 adults and 59 school age children (173 bodies)

 

mid-1990's — 575 families requiring 5 overflowing Masses (5 x 144 seats = 720 bodies)

 

1998 - new church seats 450

 

2025 - 7 masses all mostly full or standing room only) = 7 x 450 = 3,150 (plus 2 TLM's = 350 )  (Grand total = 3,450 bodies)
