Significantly fewer people are receiving sacraments today than in the past. Infant baptisms have declined about 80% over the past 60 years. Today there are more funerals than baptisms across the Diocese of Madison. Our data shows that we are experiencing a breakdown in the Body of Christ through dwindling participation in the sacraments. We must disrupt this trend for the good of our local church, the diocese, as well as for the eternal salvation of souls.
