St Joseph's Church Sailortown

Lovely community show and interesting building. Hope it gets the investment to be fully renovated.

Was a pleasure to attend the Men's Health Day at St Joseph's in the Sailortown area of Belfast. All the Volunteers were very friendly and welcoming.The gentleman who gave the talk when on the tour of Sailortown was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Paul O'Kane gave a very personal and insightful talk on the importance of men not neglecting their personal health. Tea, coffee and lunch was on tap for everyone.Thank you to those who were responsible for organising the day.Austin McCracken.

Came to visit the plaque of my uncle Thomas. Our family are immensely greatful to the community of Sailortown for their hard work and regeneration efforts.

Now an Arts Centre for music events with great acoustics

Very impressive church from the outside. I wasn't aware that building work had been carried out, as this was my first visit to Belfast, and I was passing St Joseph's quiet early in the morning. After reading more about St Joseph's, it's good to know its being used by the community.

Very interesting I'm sure others from Belfast and more would have come if they knewVia TV , radio or social mediaNeeds more publicity.Glad I caught it

It's great to see people trying to keep the memories of a much loved area alive. The younger generation always need to be educated in the way their parents and grandparents lived. And the sacrifices they made to get them a better Life.

Love going down and seeing this old building with the old train tracks going past, together with the old pub a few doors up P.J Brennan & Sons". They all give you a real sense of Belfast's history. And the old photos on this page bring it to life. I hope the work is completed soon for all to see and experience."

Not a dislike, it is a beautiful place. Just at present, in a state of very poor repair. A lot of scaffolding erected. Didn't really go e you much to look at.

Lovely little church - sadly now surrounded by modern buildings erected as part of Belfasts City Quays regeneration scheme.Looking out from the Titanic Musuem it must be the oldest building in the area - if you can spot it amongst all the new office blocks and flats on the opposite bank.It has some colourful Victorian stain glass windows that have somehow survived the years of neglect the church has sustained - at least until recently.The Sailortown Regeneration Project now hopes to renovate the church and use it as a local community resource.They obviously need funding - so it seems a pity that saving the church seems to have been largely overlooked by the businesses in the area, and the city authorities.Hopefully they will eventually succeed in achieving their goal of restoring the fabric of the church, renovating the interior for community use.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
