Description: "While the Church faces serious demographic and geographic challenges that have required parish closings in urban cores of cities in the Northeast and Upper Midwest, there is reason for optimism among Catholics in the U.S. As bishops have had to consolidate parishes and close churches in New York City, Cleveland, Hartford, and other urban areas, there have been major expansions and new parishes emerging in Catholic-rich suburban sunbelt areas in the South and the West."
