The number of people marrying in the Catholic Church is increasing.
Over three and a half thousand couples outside of Dublin took part in marriage preparation programmes provided by the Catholic agency Accord last year.
That’s an increase of 16 per cent compared to the year before, according to the Irish Daily Mail.
Separately, a new Amárach survey released by the Catholic Church for Valentine’s Day shows Catholicism is increasing among younger people, with 69 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds identifying as Roman Catholic, compared to 53 per cent of 25 to 34-year-olds.
