Over 90 percent of Poland’s youth claim to be ‘believers’ in the Catholic Church but only half of them attend church every Sunday or more often, according to a survey done by the pollsters CBOS.

Every week, 45 percent of church-goers are between the ages 18-24 years old. Four percent of Poland’s youth attends mass more than once a week.

At the beginning of the 1990s, more young people in that age group attended church regularly – two-thirds.

Today, fourty percent of young people claim to attend church a few times a year whereas the figure several years ago was 20 percent.

Only twelve percent of Poland’s youth do not admit to participating in any religious activities. (mmj)
