Scientology to open new super church

THE Church of Scientology is planning to open a European super church in Dublin after spending money to refurbish its community centre in Firhouse.

The controversial faith is currently renovating the Victory Centre – a large community centre previously owned by an evangelical fellowship.

Local Fine Gael councillor Brian Lawlor told Thejournal.ie he has heard from a number of sources the centre is to open in the coming months.

Their international centre is in Los Angeles and is described by the movement as “the mother church of the Scientology religion”.
