About the Church
The Roman Catholic community of Bārbele is active in the settlement of Bārbele, in the Vecumnieki civil parish, in the Bauska municipality, in the historic region of Semigallia (Zemgale). The locality belongs to the Bauska Deanery of the Diocese of Jelgava.
Bārbele is a small rural settlement, better known for its old Lutheran church. The local Catholic community is small and does not have a separate masonry church building; the faithful are served by priests from the surrounding parishes, and religious life is sustained by the community's devotional traditions.
