Parish life centres on the Mass and the sacraments, and many congregations have been renewed in recent decades by worshippers arriving from Poland, India, Nigeria and elsewhere. Weekly Mass attendance across Britain runs into the high hundreds of thousands. The tradition traces its modern form to the 1st century; hierarchy restored in England and Wales in 1850. As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts roughly 4 million Catholics across the UK.
It belongs to the broad community of churches across England, whose landscape holds everything from Saxon churches to congregations meeting in converted warehouses.
