More people go to church out of conviction then out of convenience, Malta’s Auxiliary Bishop elect, Joseph Galea Curmi, said.

Interviewed by The Malta Independent editor-in-chief Rachel Attard on INDEPTH, Mgr Galea Curmi said that the last church census showed there are a number of people who attend Sunday Mass roughly once a month.

The church has to keep strengthening that relationship and bring those individuals closer.
