Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, Catholic church in Dennistoun, Glasgow, Scotland.
This modernist Roman Catholic church features a distinctive copper-clad roof with dramatic tapering and sloping design, complemented by deep eaves and pierced wooden elements that filter natural light through colored glass portals.
The church was constructed between 1964 and 1965 by the renowned architectural firm Gillespie, Kidd & Coia and received Category A listed building status in 1994, recognizing its architectural and historical importance.
The building represents post-war ecclesiastical architecture in Scotland and serves as a community landmark, reflecting the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council through its modern design principles.
Regular Mass services are held on Saturdays at 5:30 pm, Sundays at 11:00 am and 5:30 pm, and weekdays at 10:00 am, with confession available on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
The church earned regional recognition when its architects received both a bronze medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects and a Civic Trust Award shortly after its completion in 1965.
