Catholics in England and Wales could soon have the credit-card sized document above in their wallets.<\/p>\n

Details: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A card communicating that its carrier is a baptised Catholic will be distributed nationally on behalf of the bishops of England and Wales.<\/p>\n

The Bishops\u2019 Conference<\/a> of England and Wales is distributing one million cards to 24 dioceses including the Bishopric of the Forces and the ordinariate in order to cultivate evangelisation among Catholics.<\/p>\n

The credit-card-size resource features on one side a clear statement that the carrier is a Catholic and a list of six things that Catholics are called to do.<\/p>\n

There is also a sentence that reads: \u201cIn the event of an emergency, please contact a Catholic priest.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other side of the card has a quote from Blessed John Henry Newman, focusing on the call to serve and affirming that everyone has a mission.<\/p>\n

Bishop Kieran Conry of Arundel and Brighton, chairman of the bishops\u2019 Department for Evangelisation and Catechesis, said: \u201cWe all carry a variety of cards in our purses and wallets which reflect something of our identity and the things that are important to us. The faith card for Catholics aims to offer a daily reminder of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. We can\u2019t summarise the whole of our faith in bullet points, but we hope that the card simply inspires people to do, read and learn more.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
