Barnabites

Catholic Religious Orders and Congregations
Origin from 1530

The Barnabites, officially the Clerics Regular of Saint Paul, are a Catholic order of clerics regular founded in Milan in 1530 by Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria together with Barthelemy Ferrari and Jacopo Antonio Morigia. The three founders responded to a period of upheaval in Lombardy in which dioceses lacked bishops, clergy had inadequate theological training and religious practice was declining. Pope Clement VII formally approved the congregation through the brief Vota per quae vos on 18 February 1533, and the order took its popular name from the monastery of Saint Barnabas in Milan, which became its principal headquarters in 1538. The Barnabites maintain headquarters in Rome and operate in 15 countries with about 335 members, including 279 priests.
