Marywood Campus to be Demolished for Gated Homes
The Marywood Pastoral Campus once housing the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange will be demolished in early 2016 to create a gated community of 40 single family homes. Bus, 2811 E Villareal Drive, dates from 1961 and was run by the Sisters of Providence as a girls high school. The Diocese bought the property in 1976 for its central offices, then moved in 2018 to Christ Cathedral.
