2025 Sacramental Data Now Available

Parish sacramental data is collected annually, providing insights into growth and trends in participation throughout the archdiocese. Updated data collected in January 2026 for the previous year is now available.


The archdiocese continues to experience a steady growth trend of 1 to 2% increase over the last 4 years measured by the rate of baptisms over deaths, but the rate of growth is slowing if not leveling.  Though baptisms now outpace deaths, a small increase in deaths this year has limited the overall growth.

Curious about attendance trends in sacramental participation in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati over the past ten years?  You'll find details and analysis on our website.
