USCCB: Number of Religious Sisters

These from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, the National Religious Retirement Office:

The number of religious sisters at the end of 2006 is 55,500. Average age is 70. 73% are 65 and older.


Let us pray that vocations increase for the Traditional religious orders. They are, after all, the only orders with newer vocations.
