The Restoration Team maintains the **Church of the Immaculate Conception, Strabane,** a B+ listed structure, built 1866. The parish was mobilised and the community raised £200,000 towards urgent repairs, and a new exhibition space. Museum and tour guide training has been provided and a maintenance plan is being put in place.
