Love and support through prayers. Breaks my heart to see such devastation but are deeply touched to see such love and devotion kneeling before the Eucharist. Catholic strong! Love from California 🙏🏼

As a student of the St Joseph Catholic School this is a huge loss as we unite in the morning every single morning and it breaks my heart

Very strange how the new pastor started his so-called work there and then the arson took place when he got there. He should be investigated too for sure.
