Welcome to the web site of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church here in Hackney.
We hope to give you a little information about the church and the people who worship here.
The Parish dates back to 1847, with our present church rebuilt in 1956, having been demolished after becoming structurally unsound when a bomb landed close by in Mare Street.
Located a short walk away in Mare Street, is St. Joseph’s Hospice, staffed and maintained by the Religious Sisters of Charity. Their Chaplain is a Camillian of The Order of St. Camillus.
