The Kenedy Statistic report uses a set of rules to categorize families and members. This document describes what is counted in Kenedy Statistics:

Receptions Into This Church

1. The sacrament record must be checked as "Completed."
2. The sacrament date must be within the date range selected for the report.
3. The sacrament parish field must match the ID of your parish. (Note that the parish names and ID are independent, so it's possible to have records with the correct name but the wrong ID).
4. For Baptism only, a baptism will be counted toward the parish total if your parish created a baptism record but didn't put in a parish name. ParishSOFT calculates the time between the member's birthdate and their baptism date to create the categories of baptism:
   • Infant Baptism: Less than 7 years between birth and baptism.
   • Minor Baptism: 7-17 years between birth and baptism.
   • Adult Baptism: 18 or more years between birth and baptism.
   • Not Specified: The baptized person has no birthdate in their member record.

Marriages

1. The marriage record must be checked as "Completed."
2. The marriage date must fall within the selected date range for the report.
3. The marriage date ended must be blank.
4. The sacrament parish field must match the ID of your parish.
5. The marital status field in the marriage record must be "Married."

The marriage will be listed as Catholic if both spouses have the religion "Catholic" in their member record. "Roman Catholic" and other variants will not be recognized. If either spouse has a blank Religion field, the marriage will be listed as "Not Specified."
