SAN FERNANDO CATHEDRAL SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS OCTOBER 9, 2016 SAN FERNANDO CATHEDRAL SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS OCTOBER 9, 2016 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION This month, parishes around the country will conduct the “October count,” a measure of aƩendance at Sunday Mass. The measure has been taken for many centuries, and in some European dioceses it is possible to measure the level of engagement in worship by the populaƟon over the course of many centuries. Long ago, it was also the custom to track “Easter duty” by a staƟsƟcal report. Penitents would receive a kind of chit at confession, which they would then turn in at their parish church when they received Holy Communion during Easter Ɵme. Long ago, of course, Communion was fairly rare in the life of a Catholic ChrisƟan, perhaps only once a year. The chits would be tallied by parish priests and reported to the chancery, which in turn would hold on to the records and include the staƟsƟcs in a report to the VaƟcan every five years. Nowadays, the October count has proved especially criƟcal in the life of our Church as bishops use the figures to measure the vitality of church life, to sketch parish boundaries, and even to decide when to close, merge, or form new parishes. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. RegistraƟon is now open for online for Assembly 2016, taking place on Saturday, November 5th, on the campus of St. Mary’s University.

This three person requirement applies to all vehicles, including those requesƟng accessible parking (vehicles must show handicapped placard) on the St. Mary’s campus for those with disabiliƟes.
