There are approximately 250,000 Catholics in Kazakhstan out of a population of 15 million.[1] Most Catholics in the country are ethnic Poles, Germans and Lithuanians.[2] There are also 3,000 Greek Catholics in the country.[2
most of them were sent there by Stalin, of course, and there were a lot of Catholic Philipinos working in the oil fields before the riots a few years ago.
Shows you what I know. Next time I’ll go to Wikipedia before I open my big mouth. I knew there were a lot of overseas Filipinos from my years in the Middle East. I would’ve thought that those Stans would be pretty hostile towards Catholics. My first ever overseas tour was in the Philippines and the Filipinos will always have a special place in my heart.
