Keep up to date with what our Parish is doing about refugees. Visit the Refugee Response webpage under Groups on the Parish website. The number of British adults who identify as Christian has risen for the second year while the number who say they have no religion has declined. This caused the figure for Christians to rise from 43 per cent of the population to 44 per cent.
This coincides with a slight fall in the number of those who identify themselves as having no religion, from 49 to 48 per cent.
This is the second year it has fallen. The percentage of adult members of religions other than Christian has remained at 8 per cent. How true! Up until a generation or so ago, Lancashire Catholics had a clear identity of who they were. Today most of our kids have little idea of who they are, their history and the faith their forebears suffered to preserve against all the odds.
The RCIA is an introduction to Catholicism and is of interest to those wishing to learn more about the faith, or who may have missed making their First Communion, or those who wish to join the Church or are simply curious about what makes Catholic tick!
