New text for the baptism of children
The bishops of the United States at their November, 2017, conference in Baltimore approved a revised translation of the baptismal rite for children, with a vote of 200 in favor, 23 against, and 3 abstentions. Please note that this is not the final step in the process of approval and implementation.

DRVC numbers from 2013
The 2014 Official Catholic Directory, published recently, includes statistics probably collected in 2013 or earlier. Below are some sample statistics for the Diocese of Rockville Centre, as given in the OCD's dated 2003, 2011, 2013, and 2014. In each case, the numbers may be rather stale. I have omitted some numbers that seem wildly inaccurate.
Sisters in the diocese: 1,398; 1,080; 1,070; 1,026.
Brothers in the diocese: 89; 79; 77; 68.
Permanent deacons in diocese: 233; 273; (2013) 275. The count of permanent deacons is missing from the 2014 directory.
Diocesan priests: 391; 360; 345; 337.
Extern priests (2002) 51; (2014) 89.
Students in elementary religious education programs: 121,699; 110,440; 108,697; (2014) 108,697. Why is it the exact same number as 2013?
Students in Catholic elementary schools: (2011) 20,042; (2013) 17,797; (2014) 17,142.
Students in Catholic high schools: (2011) 12,576; (2013) 12,155; (2014) 12,041.
Infant Baptisms: (2003) 20,983; (2011) 16,079; (2013) 15,211; (2014) 14,973.
First Communions: 20,397; 17,537; 16,722; 16,623.
Marriages, Catholic: 4,576; 2,813; 2,683; 2,687 (up 4).
Marriages, interfaith: 963; 589; 520; 535 (up 15).
Deaths: 13,119; 11,644; 10,370; 11,015.
Catholic population: (2013) 1,531,445; (2014) 1,467,211.
Total population: (2013) 3,504,737; (2014) 3,308,154. However, these numbers are much higher than those reported by other sources.
----
LIPA's January, 2011, population estimates were:
Nassau: 1,337,756.
Suffolk: 1,492,450
Total population of the diocese's two counties: 2,830,306.
The 2012 OCD used the number 2,875,904 for the total population, close enough. However, the OCD 2013 and 2014 population numbers are about 460,000 too high!
----
The U.S. Census bureau estimated the 2013 population of Nassau County as 1,342,156 and Suffolk County as 1,499,738, for a total Diocese of Rockville Centre population (both counties) of 2,841894.
I cannot find 2013 or 2014 estimates from LIPA or PSEG, the power companies.
