Church Fire Follow-Up 11:07 pm
Every Sunday, dozens of families head into the Holy Family Catholic Church in Hooversville for mass, but not this week. “I noticed that I saw a burst of fire from the wall, so I immediately called 911.” That’s what Father Karl did Friday morning, and a few hours later, the church hall and rectory burnt to the ground. “I lost my mother and father’s wedding picture, I lost pictures of my ordination, and a picture of me and my dog,” said Reverend Karl Kolodziejski, O.F.M. Conv.
A miracle: the church itself was saved with just “minor damage” on the inside, according to Chad Maurer, Assistant Fire Chief for the Hooversville Fire Department. Father Karl said as the fire alarms were blaring the song “Come Holy Ghost” started playing in the church. “That’s just weird. To me, it’s sort of like telling the people that things are under God’s control,” Father Karl said.
