(Mario Trifunovic. Katolisch).
There is talk of a record: more than 12,000 people were baptised in France during this year’s Easter Vigil. At first glance, this is a surprising number, especially as there is always talk of increasing secularisation, even “de-Christianisation”, when it comes to the Church in France. However, the number of adult baptisms in France has been steadily increasing for around ten years, according to a recently published report by the French Bishops’ Conference. This trend can be observed in almost all dioceses in France.
