Holy Angels is Barrington's oldest Catholic parish. It was founded in 1913 to serve primarily the growing Italian population, many of whom came to Rhode Island to work in the former brickyards along Maple Avenue and live in that area. The land for the church was donated by the brick company, and the original church building was replaced in 1963. It is a member of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence. Father Raymond Ferrick is the presiding priest.
