The 2015 Official Catholic Directory, published recently, includes statistics probably collected in 2014 or earlier. Below are some sample statistics for the Diocese of Rockville Centre. In some cases, the numbers may be rather stale. particularly where the number is exactly the same annually. I have omitted some numbers that seem wildly inaccurate.
