Thousands of people across the UK are to be received into the Catholic Church this Easter, with dioceses across Britain noting a marked increase in the number of adult baptisms, with young men leading the way.
Westminster Diocese alone will receive 500 adults into the Church this Easter, half of whom are catechumens, meaning they are not baptised and will receive the sacrament of baptism along with the other sacraments of initiation. The number represents a 25 per cent increase on the previous year.
