Finland’s first Catholic school, starting Aug. 1 in Helsinki with grades 1–3, will serve at least 12 students in a Lutheran church building, reflecting the growing Catholic community.
Helsinki’s Catholic bishop, Raimo Goyarrola, plans to launch Finland’s first Catholic school in August on Lauttasaari island, starting with grades 1–3 and operating initially as a government-recognized home-schooling program.
The school will emphasize Christian values and liturgical life, aiming for at least 12 students to symbolize the apostles.
Located in a Lutheran church building, it will eventually seek to purchase the space if funding permits.
The initiative reflects the growing Catholic community in Finland, driven by immigration and conversions, despite the country’s historically Lutheran roots.
