Catholic nuns and preists in Italy have established an inflatable church on the Adriatic Coast to try and attract new members to their congregation.
The group from the Sentinelle Del Mattino church have set up camp alongside holiday makers. They're hoping that by providing a church where people can worship whilst on holiday then hopefully they'll contiune to attend church when they return home.Hayley Platt reports.
Soundbites:
Francois Dechavanne, Visiting From France, saying (Italian):
"I think it is a very good idea. People don't go to church as they did before, so it is now the church that goes to the people. I think it is very original, something new. I'm French and I'm Catholic but I've never seen anything like this in my life."
Father Andrea Brugnoli, Head Of Sentinelle Del Mattino, saying (Italian) :"God called me to dedicate my life to young people, to go among them and find them because today it is hard for young people to go to church, so it has to be the church to go towards them. This project was born to attract young people in the places where they normally hang out such as streets and beaches."
