St Mary's Lochee Restoration Fund

A bit of background... St Mary’s Lochee formed a restoration steering group to work on raising funds to keep this church alive and for future generations. The steering group have been working on securing grants to help cover the cost of the renovation and the summary bullet list provides a brief explanation for the need to secure the building for future generations:• St Mary's is a living gem in the heart of its community since 1866.• St Mary's has contributed to the lives of countless families both spiritually and socially over the last 158 years.• This unique building is now in need of restoration and the parishioners, friends and people of Lochee are endeavouring to raise funds to keep this building alive for future generations.• St Mary's is a Grade A Listed building partly due to its famous architect Joseph Hansom (who also designed the Hansom Cab) but mostly due to its sheer beauty and historical significance to Lochee.• As well as the profound spiritual impact St Mary's has had, it has also been a lifeline through its Food Provision, previously through a regular community café and now more recently has a community fridge, and St Vincent de Paul Society who care for some of the most vulnerable people in our area. There are many people who rely on St Mary's to keep body and soul together.
