Parish Statistical reports are the means for each canonical parish in the Diocese of Madison to submit key points of contact and overall demographics of the parishioners to the Office of the Vicar General.  This data fuels other reports like the annual Vatican Report and along with the October Count, helps to give a baseline each year for overall data that can be used for reporting trends within our Diocese.  

October Counts are the means for each of the parishes in the Diocese of Madison to count and submit parish attendance at each of their church sites.  These numbers are an integral part of collecting parish statistical data and are used for the Parish Statistical report which is collected at the end of each calendar year. 

This is a quick reminder to make sure the Safe Environment Children's Curriculum is on your schedule this fall for your parish Faith Formation program and your School.
