Sunday Mass Attendance 2025

Sunday Mass attendance continues to increase in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for the last five years straight.


2025 saw a healthy 4% growth year-over-year with a total of 118,743 of the faithful attending Mass on average each Sunday. Another encouraging indicator is that all deaneries experienced positive growth in Mass attendance; the increase in Mass attendance was not localized to one or a few regional locations. Five years of consistent increase is a good indicator of a stable pandemic recovery and increasing spiritual health of the archdiocese.


This is a strong and encouraging trend for our archdiocese that will hopefully continue as Families of Parishes focus on the vision for the future and the “Why” at the root of the Beacons of Light project:  


”To proclaim the Gospel and make disciples in this particular time and place.”


Participation in the Eucharist, and in particular Sunday Mass, is a foundational principle in Beacons of Light.
