FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE�Research Corner� There are studies from the Spring, 2018, The CARA Report, which provided some insight about women in the Church.��

Women’s Commitment to Church May be Increasing � from “Catholic Women’s Refreshed Enthusiasm,” by Michele Dillon, Na-onal

Catholic Reporter, January 12 � 25, 2018.���

��Over the past 25 years, women’s commitment to the church has been characterized by a steady decline.��

��Today, women are just slightly more likely than men to aDend Mass at least weekly. �

��2017 saw an increase in the number of women who say that the Church is among the most important things in their life.��

��The percentage of women and men who say they would never leave the Church has been increasing.��

��80% of Catholic women and men express sa-sfac-on with Pope Francis’ leadership. �

��Catholic women are not increasing their prac-ce of Catholicism, such as weekly Mass aDendance, but are expressing an increased

aDachment to the Church.��

Here are some annual sta>s>cs I can share with you about OUR

Vincen>ans:�

�� They have helped about 50 households in the Cudahy area

providing emergency food, household goods & furniture.�

�� They make more than 100 visits to Assisted Living facili-es in

Cudahy, South Milwaukee and Oak Creek to share

conversa-on, prayers and the Eucharist.�

�� 11 -mes per year Vincen-ans and others (5�10 people) go to

the South Side meal site to serve a meal aVer delivering the

sloppy joe that a handful of people make and deliver to NL.

(10�15 ice cream pails monthly are dropped off.) This

translates to a total value of about $4,800.00 in sloppy joe/

bbq. Plus 250 hours of service by those who serve the meal.�

�� Through the collec-ons taken in church on the 5th Sunday of

any month, 680 gallons of milk have been donated. So far in

2018 $1,754.59 has been collected. (We have 1 more

collec-on this year on December 29 & 30.)�

�� In total this adds up to more than 600 hours of service and

3,000 miles in service to the people of our community.��

But this isn’t enough. Our Vincen-ans and sloppy joe donors and

volunteers are in need of the next 1/2 genera-on and others

interested to step forward to increase giving and involvement as

those in need and prices increase.��

Can you cook a batch of bbq or a bake a dessert? Can you spend

a couple of hours in service to others at the Meal Program or

helping with emergency provisions? Can you do spiritual

ministry? Can you donate to buy a gallon ($2.59) or more of

milk? ��

As stated at hDps://cruxnow.com/va-can/2017/10/16/st�vincent

�de�paul�inspired�people�pray�reach�pope�says/ :�

“St. Vincent de Paul’s “passion for charity” has endured for four

centuries because it is grounded in prayer and flows from

adora�on, Francis told the crowd. Being aware that God awaits

and welcomes each person, transforms hearts into those that

welcome others and prompts them to set out in search of anyone

in need.” �Thank you to all our Vincen�ans and those whose hearts, hands

and resources are open to helping fulfill their mission.�
