VIDEO: "The Rock" Gutted by Fire

By Antonio D. French

Filed Friday, August 17, 2007 at 11:54 AM

Fire officials are blaming an act of God for damage suffered last night by the historic St. Alphonsus "Rock" Catholic Church in midtown.

PubDef's camera was there as firefighters put out the blaze apparently caused by a lightning strike on the roof of the 135-year-old church. The fire reportedly gutted "The Rock," which is Missouri's largest African-American Catholic church.

Heard that it is going to be rebuilt. Thanks. It really is a beautiful church, even after being gutted by fire.

This post has nothing to do with St. Louis Public Schools or Ms. O'Brien. Please stay on topic.
