EDUCENA FOUNDATION GETS GO AHEAD FOR CITY HOUSES

Date Published: 24-Jan-2013

The five two storey terrace houses are to be built on the site of the former presentation convent sports hall on the Presentation road.

City planners gave all the go ahead for the plans with 20 conditions attached.

Several years ago five religious congregations, the Daughters of Charity, the Presentation Sisters, the Mercy Sisters, the Sisters of the Christian Retreat and the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart entered into a collaborative arrangement, to be known as the EDUCENA foundation.

It aims to preserve the Catholic ethos of their schools and ensure that the properties, held in trust for the purpose of providing Catholic education, would be secured and efficiently managed for this purpose.
