St Mary Moorfields is a Roman Catholic church in the City of London. The present building, located at 4-5 Eldon Street, was opened in 1903. However, the foundation had a long history prior to this. A chapel was opened in 1686, but was suspended in 1689, in the aftermath of the Revolution of 1688. From 1736 there was a chapel in Ropemaker's Alley, but in 1780 it too fell prey to anti-Catholic sentiment when its fabric and furniture were destroyed in the Gordon Riots. It was succeeded first by a chapel in White Street, then in 1820 by a large Classical church in Finsbury Circus, which became Cardinal Wiseman's pro-cathedral from 1850 to 1869. This building was sold and demolished in 1900. The church serves as a hub for evangelism, especially directed at young people who work in the Financial District environs (City of London). The church is affiliated with the (St Francis of Assisi Ramblers ) and also hosts monthly Opus Dei meetings.〔 (Bloomberg.com report on Opus Dei )〕 ==See also== * List of churches and cathedrals of London * Moorfields 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Mary Moorfields」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
