Roman Catholic Church in Barbados
Historical Facts
The Roman Catholic church was initially rejected by the firmly-Protestant plantocracy in Barbados, and did not become accepted in Barbados until after the abolition of slavery in 1838. The following year, a military garrison (the Connaught Rangers) requested and received a Catholic chaplain. This led to increased numbers of Barbadians joining the Roman Catholic Church.
Today, Catholics make up approximately four percent of church goers and there are several Roman Catholic Churches in Barbados.
