Flatrock, Newfoundland and Labrador
Flatrock is a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The town had a population of 1,457 in the Canada 2011 Census.
Most of the people in Flatrock are of Irish descent. There are some families who are descended from the few Norwegian settlers who came to Flatrock in the 19th century. Irish heritage is still strong today and can be seen in such things as religion, folkways, music, and dialect/accent.
==Religion and History==
Flatrock is primarily a Roman Catholic fishing town. The first settlers were Roman Catholic Irish fishermen and also Roman Catholics of French descent. About 95 per cent is Roman Catholic, 2.0% is Anglican Church of Canada, 1% United Church of Canada, or Methodist who attends the United Church in Pouch Cove, and 1% Presbyterian who attend St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (The Kirk) in St. John's. The great majority of Protestants in Flatrock are originally from other communities in Newfoundland, because historically there is no evidence of any Protestant families settling in Flatrock other than Norwegian and some English families, who, as evidenced in the town's local history, soon converted to Catholicism.
There is only one church in Flatrock, St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church. This church, as well as St. Agnes' Roman Catholic Church in the neighbor community of Pouch Cove, share the same parish. The Church currently shares two priests with Holy Trinity in Torbay, Holy Rosary in Portugal Cove, and St. Agnes' in Pouch Cove. There is no Presbytery in Flatrock. However, they do exist in neighboring communities Torbay, Pouch Cove, and Portugal Cove.
