John Patrick Barrett (31 October 1878 – 2 November 1946) was a British clergyman who held high office in the Roman Catholic Church.
He was educated at St Edward's College, Everton, and at the University of London (he gained his Bachelor of Arts (BA) there, a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) later, and a Doctor of Divinity (DD) from the Pontifical Gregorian University).
[1] When his house was destroyed in an air raid in 1941, during the Second World War, he moved into a nearby convent, where he died suddenly but peacefully on 2 November 1946.
At Ottery, two female converts set up a chapel at Raleigh House, which later became St Anthony's Church.
[5] The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Plympton was designed by Leonard Drysdale and built in memory of Barrett's predecessor, John Keily, and was consecrated in 1934.
