Number of Catholic priests in the Netherlands 2014-2021

Published by Statista Research Department, Aug 23, 2024
Between 2014 and 2021, the number of Catholic priests living in the Netherlands decreased. Whereas in 2014, the Catholic Church still had over 700 priests, by 2021 the number of priests had fallen to just 604. The decline in the number of priests is matched by a decline in the general Catholic population in the Netherlands. In the last two decades, the Catholic Church lost around 1.5 million members.
