Over the last number of years, the group have worked tirelessly to ensure the building is preserved and refurbished in order that it may serve the local community as it has done since its establishment. St Joe’s has been and continues to be at the heart of the community through the work of Sailortown Regeneration Group. St Joe’s has ambitious plans for the future all which revolve around the idea of serving the community creating a place where they can “work, live and play.”
