History of queen of peace church

Church History..
The Queen of Peace is a Catholic church situated at the junction of the Putland Road and the Vevay Road in Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. The present church was built in 1946 by T & J Macken of St Patrick’s Street, Dun Laoghaire, with many local people employed on the construction.[1] The plot of land used was donated by the Presentation Brothers who were running Presentation College, Bray.
In 1993, the Parish Centre called Villa Pacis ("Home of Peace" in Latin) was built.

The parish of Queen of Peace has been financially supporting its twin parish of Bugisi in 

Tanzania for a number of years. [2] 
The parish has a very close relationship with St Cronan's B.N.S., Scoil Chualann and Gaelscoil Uí 
Chéadaigh. The parish provides the sacraments of Communion and Confirmation to the children in the schools. 
They also help to raise funds for the twin parish of Bugisi.
