Though living on an island Bahá’ís on St Helena do not feel isolated, as we are part of the Bahá’í international community. As happens world wide, we hold meetings for members of their local community, support each other and are regularly in touch with other national and international Bahá’í organisations.

The Bahá’í Faith was introduced to St Helena in 1954 and has become an established part of island life.

Meetings are held at the Bahá’í Centre, Gumwoods where members of the public are welcome:

Bahá’ís have also been invited to take part on the Radio St Helena for “Thought for Today” every six weeks, and a short service every four months, the latter on a Sunday at 7 p.m.

We also have an Information Centre in Napoleon Street, Jamestown - details below.

Bahá’ís are part of the wider local community and make a contribution on a personal level in whatever way they can, not only through daily work but also through civil society groups such as the Disabled Person’s Aid Society, the League of Friends, and the Citizenship Commission.

“The Bahá’í Community of St Helena” is registered in St Helena as Registered Charity number C0004.
