Current Reality Assessment PhaseKey Findings:
1. The Tale of Two Dioceses in One; Carmel Deanery and Others
2. Positive parish financial assessment with some parishes of concern
3. Key issues appear to be long range pastoral resource trends and effective use of priest time
4. Need to organize parish and ministry structures for stability, strength, and growth across the entire diocese
5. Demographic and lifestyle changes, as well as limited levels of evangelization, are influencing the faithful’s choices, connections, and engagement. In addition, there is an impact of the abuse crisis.
6. Catholic Schools operating with decreasing enrollment and increasing expenses
7. Active and engaged Diocesan Pastoral Plan for alignment and clarity

Current Reality Assessment PhaseCatholicity Percentages
Between 2009 and 2017 the total number of registered Catholic households across the Diocese has grown 1.0% from 34,763 to 35,101 HHs
In 2018, approximately 92.0% of registered Catholic households affiliated with a parish in the Diocese resided within the diocesan boundary
Registered Catholic households within the Diocese represent approximately 6.3% of all households of any type residing in the Diocese
An accepted “rule of thumb” is that an additional 40 % of disengaged Catholic households reside in any parish. So if a parish has 500 registered HHs, there would be an estimated additional 200 HHs that are non-practicing Catholic HHs.

Current Reality Assessment PhasePastoral Resources
There are currently 67 active priests serving 61 parishes

The Diocese projects that by 2030, retirements will reduce that number to 48 priests, and by 2033 the number will be 38
The above projections do not count ordinations, illness, disabilities, or death
