A hisotric Dundee church is to benefit from £257,700 to carry out essential repairs to preserve the building.
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Historic Scotland have awarded a funding package worth more than £1.3 million to seven distinguished churches, including the Friary in Tullideph Road.
The money will be used to fund extensive roof repairs to stop leaks and pay for broken and decaying windows to be refurbished.
The church was constructed in 1958 as an addition to the St Frances Friary complex and was the first Roman Catholic Church built in Dundee after the Reformation.
The building is now owned by City Church and as well as regular services it hosts several community groups.
The church provides work opportunities for offenders from Castle Huntly open prison and volunteers from the Salvation Army hostel.
Craig Stocks, team leader at the City Church, said: “It is obviously a lot of money and we are delighted they have decided to award it to us.
“It will help secure the integrity of the building so we can get on with doing our job of serving the local community.”
Mr Stocks said the maintenance was essential to keep the facilities in good working order for future generations.
