Catholic Diocese To Conduct Census
KENTUCKY...
Roman Catholics in the northern Kentucky diocese will be counted for the first time in 17 years when the Diocese of Covington conducts a census later this year.
Boone County has been selected as the first county to be counted.
Volunteers from the county's six Roman Catholic parishes will conduct the count on two consecutive Sundays -- Oct. 17 and Oct. 24 -- to gather information about all residents.
The head count will include Catholics and non-Catholics and be done by visiting residences.
Bishop Roger Foys said the county is the diocese's fastest growing one in terms of membership in the church. It has 14 counties.
Catholics will be asked information such as the dates that the head of household, spouse and children received various sacraments and the frequency that each member of the couple attends Mass.
