The obvious solution to this is for the Parish Priest to step down from his role as school patron, and hand over responsibility to an independent community trust. Religion can then become an 'optional extra' like ballet or swimming. Those who want it can choose it. He is then much more likely to have the same number making their Communion as attending mass the next day.Communion was in our church yesterday - 48 boys and girls. Today at Mass the priest stated 45 boys and girls made Communion last year but on the following day, Sunday, 7 went to Mass. He said it looks like less are here this year.
Another equally-obvious solution is for parents who do not wish to raise their children as Catholics to be honest about it, and not present their children for communion.
