November 26, 2014

A subcommittee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has commissioned a National Survey of Asian and Pacific Island Catholics to assist in the development of a National Pastoral Plan for Asian and Pacific Island Catholics, who now make up 6% of the Catholic population in the US.

“This plan aims to identify current conditions and needs, revealing how faith is lived and expressed in culturally-specific contexts,” said Bishop Randolph Calvo of Reno, the chairman of the Subcommittee for Asian and Pacific Islands Affairs.
