Parishioners in Conwy, north Wales, have won their appeal to the Vatican against the closure of their church.
The last Mass at St Michael and All Angels church was celebrated in February 2018 after Bishop Peter Brignall of Wrexham announced its closure. He cited lack of clergy for the decision.
At the time, parishioners said they were “heartbroken” by the closure. Spokeswoman Anne McCaffrey told the BBC they were prepared to hire a canon lawyer to take their appeal to the highest level.
“To close a church building there needs to be grave cause, a technical term in church law,” she said.
