Roman Catholicism in Lithuania

The Roman Catholic Church in Lithuania is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.
It is the most Catholic of all the Baltic states: there are two million Catholics, which is 79% of the total population. The country is divided into eight dioceses including two archdioceses and a military ordinariate.〔(GigaCatholic Directory )〕 In 2007 there were 779 Roman Catholic priests and 677 parishes.〔(Catholic Hierarchy Catalog )〕 Lithuania is the northernmost predominantly Roman Catholic country in the world, being slightly farther north than the Republic of Ireland.
==History==

Roman Catholicism has been the majority denomination since the Christianization of parts of Lithuania proper in 1387 (the Highland) and in 1413 (Samogitia, the Lowland).〔(Foreword to the past: a cultural history of the Baltic people by Endre Bojtár ), p. 140〕
St. Casimir (Kazimieras, 1458–1484) is the only canonized saint of Lithuania. He is the patron of the country and Lithuanian youth. Archbishop Jurgis Matulaitis-Matulevičius (1871–1927) was beatified in 1987.〔(Lithuanian Saints and Witnesses of Faith on the Official Page of Catholic Church in Lithuania )〕
