Some members fear job loss but overall giving remains healthy with increases at First Christian Church and stable or modest growth at nearby congregations.

Catholic Church reports record loss due to counting changes
The 1991 Catholic Directory shows 58,267,424 members, down 300,591 from 1990, a decline blamed on new reporting methods by several dioceses. U.S. Catholics remain about 22.8 percent of the population, while counts of nuns and priests edge lower and orders shrink from a 1985 peak.
