Posted on February 9th, 2009
Q. Each year, how many adults go through the RCIA process and are baptized in the United States?
A. In March of 2008, ZENIT News Agency published a great article titled “Thousands in US to Join Church” that answers this question. Approximately 65,000 adults are baptized in the Catholic Church each year. With approximately 240 million individuals aged 18 and above in the United States, sixty-five thousand is approximately 00.027% (a little over a fiftieth of one percent) of the adult population.
