The
St Barnabas Society, a registered charity, operates in Great Britain
and Ireland and exists to provide pastoral and financial help on behalf
of the whole Catholic community to former clergy ministers and religious
from other churches, who live in Great Britain and Ireland, and who
have been led by faith and conscience to come into full communion with
the Catholic Church.
St Barnabas was chosen as its patron because it was he who befriended
Paul after his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus and encouraged
him to begin a new life in the apostolic church with St Peter at its
head.
The
St Barnabas Society continues the work, begun over a century ago, of welcoming and helping
clergy and religious of other churches. It cooperates with the Bishops
and Parish Priests to provide support until the individuals have been
integrated into the Catholic community and established in a new life.
