Exploring The Forgotten World

Abandoned Church & School USA

To serve the growing Polish-American community which made this area their home

Built in the 1920s

The church/school served the community for almost 25 years

In the mid-2000s, the city diocese announced plans to reorganise and consolidate the parishes.

Restructuring

As congregations merged, some churches were closed down. Including this one!

The church and school were put up for sale, but sat empty for 12 years, before being finally leased.

Left To Rot

In 2021, renovation work was completed. This location is now in use as a tuition free academy!”
