Catholic Apostolic Community Church at Saint Barnabas Church - Iglesia Catolica Apostolica Comunitaria

The Catholic Apostolic Community Church at Saint Barnabas Church is a Spanish-language faith community organized as base ecclesial communities or house churches. The church emphasizes a return to Jesus's teachings and lifestyle, focusing on the Kingdom of God and commitment to the poor and oppressed. The community practices radical discipleship through personal and communal conversion, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Key commitments include integrating women into priestly ministry with equal dignity, providing free sacraments and ministerial services funded by voluntary donations, and centering the Eucharist in community life adapted to local languages and customs. The church draws inspiration from liberation theology figures including Pope John XXIII, Archbishop Oscar Romero, and Father Rutilio Grande. The community aims to remain small and humble, avoiding institutionalization beyond functional necessity, and following Jesus's example of itinerant service and humility. They welcome all people, particularly the poor and marginalized, and teach using Jesus's methods with sensitivity and personal witness.
