It’s been noted that for the last few years, the number of people entering the Catholic Church at Easter has been sharply rising. It’s not just a one-year, post-covid fluke. Cleveland diocese saw a 50% larger Catechumen class in 2024 than 2023 (465), then about 75% higher number in 2025. Many other diocese are seeing the same trend.

Diocese across the US are seeing ever-increasing numbers of converts. Even the New York Times reported that young men are flooding to churches of many Christian denominations – especially Gen Z men.
