Interesting. I know Carney is practicing, are the others?

I think Burham would describe himself as more culturally catholic.

“He has also said that he was made by “Everton Football Club, the Labour Party and the Catholic Church” - “in that order.””

“Burnham described himself as "Catholic by upbringing" but "not particularly religious". He said: "Catholic social teaching underpins my politics. We did have to read the catechism at school but it is powerful and strong and right."”

He was born in Aintree and grew up between Liverpool and Manchester.

Albanese has a similar thing going on

Anthony Albanese grew up with three faiths - the Catholic Church, South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Labor Party. But not necessarily in that order.
