St.Francis-in-the-East CHURCH HOUSE  


Since 1942 Bridgeton, Church House has been reaching out to children and  young people of the 
Inner East End of Glasgow some from difficult backgrounds, helping them to find fullness of life, 
physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and interpersonally in one of the most deprived areas in Western Europe.......oor Brigton!
.
The church building, which used to be the old London Road East Church which was next to the 
Bethany Congregational, was made available to St Francis-in-the-East for use as a Church House and is probably the longest established facility of its kind in Scotland.

"...... I went to Dalmarnock School from 1941-1948.  Does anyone remember the air-raid shelters in the playground and running round to the dinner school in the Church at Boden Street.  That was the best mince & potatoes and custard pudding that I ever tasted......."
