Statistics Show Increase in
Catholics, Priests and Seminarians
VATICAN CITY (CNS) – The latest
Vatican statistics show a slight increase
in Catholics as a percentage of
the world’s population, and a slow but
steady rise in the number of Priests
and seminarians worldwide.
The Vatican said the number of
Catholics reached 1.166 billion, an
increase of 19 million, or 1.7 percent,
from the end of 2007. During
the same period, Catholics as a percentage
of the global population grew
from 17.33 percent to 17.4 percent,
it said. The number of Priests stood
at 409,166, an increase of 1,142
from the end of 2007. Since the year
2000, the Vatican said, the number
of Priests has increased by nearly
4,000, or 1 percent.
Looking at the way Priests are distributed
worldwide, it said: 47.1 percent
were in Europe, 30 percent in
the Americas, 13.2 percent in Asia,
8.7 percent in Africa and 1.2 percent
in Oceania.

Make her known,
through his music
On June 27, Redemptorists around the world will
celebrate the feast day of our patroness, Our Mother
of Perpetual Help. In 1866, Pope Pius IX entrusted
this most recognizable image of Our Blessed Mother
to the Redemptorists with the stipulation that we
“make her known throughout the world.”
Praying the Rosary with St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori
is the first CD produced in the U.S. to feature the
music and prayers of St. Alphonsus. He is well-known
among the saints for his lifelong devotion to Mary. Experience
the love this great saint of the Church had
for Mary by listening to the hymns and prayers composed
in her honor.

day, go to littlelambmusic.com or call toll free
