The overwhelming majority of the population is of the Roman Catholic faith, and Levantian Catholic authorities visiting the island report that virtually the entire population attends Mass on Sundays.

A smaller number of parishes in New Ardmore belong to the [[Insular Apostolic Church|Insular Apostolic Communion]] and three to the Ancient Celtic Church in Kiravia. | The overwhelming majority of the population is of the Roman Catholic faith, and Levantian Catholic authorities visiting the island report that virtually the entire population attends Mass on Sundays.
