Upstate Catholic Compass

This is amazing! It was sent via email from Christ On Main:

"This year, Our Lady of the Rosary, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Mary’s, St. Mary Magdalene, and Prince of Peace Catholic Churches have seen a remarkable 44% increase in individuals entering the Catholic Church compared to 2025.

"Even more encouraging? The Diocese of Charleston is experiencing a 27% increase in individuals entering the Church through OCIA, while this article from Hallow shows similar growth across the country: “Catholic Church Sees Massive Growth in New Members in 2026.”

"Simply put: God is drawing people home."

Indeed He is. To find local Masses, events, Catholic schooling options, and job openings, please visit our website at
