St. Henry's Cathedral, Catholic Diocese of Helsinki, Finland
The Catholic Church in Finland (Finnish: Katolinen kirkko Suomessa) is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.
As of 2018[update], there were more than 15,000 registered Catholics in Finland out of a total population of 5.5 million. There were also an estimated 10,000 unregistered Catholics in the country. Of the more than 6000 Catholic families in the country, half were Finnish and the rest from the international community.[1] Due to the small number of Catholics in Finland, the whole country forms a single diocese, the Catholic Diocese of Helsinki.
As of 2018[update], there were five native-born Finnish priests, three of whom work in Finland. There are more than 30 priests from different countries serving in Finland.[2] Since the 2019 retirement of Teemu Sippo, the first native-born Finnish Catholic bishop since the Lutheran Reformation, the Diocese of Helsinki has been vacant, i.e. without a bishop.
The Catholic Church in Finland is active in ecumenical matters and is a member of the Finnish Ecumenical Council, even though the worldwide Catholic Church is not a member of the World Council of Churches.[3]
