Our new House of Good: Health research shows that churches in the UK are providing essential services that would relieve the NHS of costs of £8.4 billion every year. But church buildings are dangerously underfunded, with many falling into disrepair and facing closure.

Church of the Week

Church of the Week

Strabane, County Tyrone

Strabane Church of the Immaculate Conception in County Tyrone, was completed in 1895 to the designs of architect William Hague. It has beautifully designed stained glass windows, carved sculptures and a heritage museum collection upstairs. The church was the winner of the Care & Conservation Award at the National Church Awards this year; the judges were impressed with the methodical, specialist, comprehensive approach to conservation and they particularly loved the upskilling of volunteers that were part of this impressive project. The church is clearly part of the community and continuing the work to great effect.
