TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION This month, parishes around the country will conduct the “October count,” a measure of a endance at Sunday Mass. The measure has been taken for many centuries, and in some European dioceses it is possible to measure the level of en-gagement in worship by the popula on over the course of many centuries. Long ago, it was also the custom to track “Easter duty” by a sta s cal report. Penitents would receive a kind of chit at confession, which they would then turn in at their parish church when they received Holy Communion dur-ing Easter me.

Long ago, of course, Communion was fairly rare in the life of a Catholic Chris an, perhaps only once a year. The chits would be tallied by parish priests and reported to the chancery, which in turn would hold on to the records and include the sta s cs in a report to the Va can every five years. Nowadays, the October count has proved especially cri cal in the life of our Church as bishops use the figures to measure the vitality of church life, to sketch parish boundaries, and even to decide when to close, merge, or form new parishes.
