Catania manages to win 4-1 – but relegation is sealed!
Football often involves dramatic twists and unexpected events. But what happened on the last matchday in Serie B exceeded even the wildest expectations: the Italian club Catania suffered relegation to the third division despite an impressive 4-1 win against FC Alessandria.

Growth of the Church of Jesus Christ
Away from football, the General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 5, 2025, brought crucial insights into the growth of the Church. A statistical report ending December 31, 2024 found a total membership of 17.5 million people worldwide. These figures not only show the impressive growth, but also illustrate the Church's activities in many countries.
The current number of wards and branches is 31,676, and there are 3,608 stakes and 450 missions. Particularly noteworthy is the number of converts baptized in 2024: 308,682 new members joined the church. These successes will certainly be linked to the tireless work of the more than 74,000 full-time teaching missionaries who are committed to spreading their message.
Temples and construction projects
Another highlight of the report is the expansion of the temple program. In total, there are currently 194 temples in operation while 59 are under construction. In addition, 114 additional temples were announced, further strengthening the Church's global presence.
