Catholic Dioceses have seen reduced memberships beginning in the early 1970s. As more families moved away from the Catholic faith, fewer students were enrolled in Catholic Schools. At first, the Roman Catholic Church responded to this by consolidating classes and individual schools. They closed older schools and moved students from those buildings to another school. But with continuing downward trends for new enrollment, finally more schools had to close. The same has happened with parish churches, as one then another closed and parishoners were asked to attend other existing churches.
At the same time, fewer young people enter the vocation to become priests and nuns. Rectories and Mother Houses are being sold because they are too large and costly to maintain with an aging and declining population to use these as sanctified residences.
