The Vatican has sent out the Global Catholic Statistical reports and according to the Global Catholic Statistical Data 2023 "The Catholic Church Registers a Significant Rise in the Number of Christians" The number of Catholics in the Holy Catholic Church worldwide grew larger from 1.358 billion to 1.375 billion as it stands now, an increase of 16.2 million from the number of Catholic Christians in 2022. The Continent of Africa made an effective rise in vocations to the Priesthood. It's the only Continent that has been noted with registration in growth in the number of both Major and Minor Seminarians. Africa also experienced an increase of 205 Major seminarians and 2,053 Minor Seminarians. A great sign of faith, a great sign of faith in God and the Lord Christ Jesus.

In the sector of Education, the Catholic Church worldwide has 74,000 Kindergartens, 10,567 Nursery Schools, 101,000 Primary Schools, and 50,000 Secondary Schools serving the needs of over 65 million Children across the world. While in Healthcare, the Catholic Church operates 5,405 Hospitals, 14,205 Dispensaries, 567 Leper Hospitals, 15,276 Homes for the Elderly, 9,703 Orphanages, 10,604 Marriage Counseling Centres, 3,287 Social Rehabilitation centres, and 35,529 other kinds of Institutes.

"As the Catholic Church cares for the spirituality of her Members, their care for Humanity is highly considered it's not easy to run Schools, Hospitals, and other Institutes fully. You need to be compassionate and seek the grace of God every time to do this kind of work. I thank the Catholic Church for seeing the aspect of spiritual life and the need for human life."

May the Holy Lord God bless the Catholic Church and all those who hold authority over the Holy Church of Christ.
