St Joseph’s Hall, on the corner of Vicarage Road and Primrose Road, has been boarded up for many years. The diocese is planning on selling the site to developers.
Mother Maria of the Marian Mission in Colchester Road, who deals with vulnerable children and families, is fighting to get the diocese to back her plans to refurbish the building and to continue to use it for children and families and to make it available to the local community.
Leyton Ward Councillor Bob Sullivan and Mother Maria pleaded her case to representatives of the diocesan board.
Currently Barclays Bank agree a mortgage in principle to cover the buying cost.
Fundraising has raised many thousand’s, but many more donations are needed.
If you would like to support the project to bring this building into community use and stop the developers, then please send your donations to:
