This report highlights some major demographic trends that will continue to impact the Diocese of Camden in the years ahead. These trends are interrelated and often they are local variations of national trends. For example, the local growth in the Hispanic population increases the total number of Catholics, the growth in the multicultural population, and the income disparity that is occurring across the U.S.
The purpose of this narrative is to inform and provoke further thinking and discussion about the factors that influence strategic planning for the future. These factors will affect how the Church carries out the mission entrusted to it and how pastoral services will be provided to all parts of the Diocese of Camden.
