CWN Editor's Note: The Catholic Church in France is preparing to welcome a record number of adult converts at the Easter Vigil this year, with nearly 18,000 people entering the Church.
Across the country, the bishops’ conference reports a 30% jump in the number of converts over last year’s figure, which was already a record. The Archdiocese of Paris awaits the baptism of 670 catechumens, up from 522 last year; the Archdiocese of Lille reports 658, up from 456.
More than 10% of the new converts had been Muslims.
