I saw one picture of the Catholic Church in Grand Case it lo9ked like it had some roof damage can anyone fill me in on the condition of the church

Someone has to know. Early on i read it was better off than the surroundings.

Ill bet the locals got her fixed up and open.

I just drove by the church. Still needs a lot of repair.

Have they gotten a new priest yet?

We attended Mass in May, or tried to anyway. The Mass was in a small building behind the church, which was under construction. We had a seat and then some elderly Parishioners came in right after Mass started so we got up to give them our seats so then we were standing outside with many other Parishioners. At that point, we could no longer hear and I was feeling extremely guilty to even think about receiving the Eucharist while they were in these circumstances, not knowing how available the Eucharist is to them now. We are able to attend Mass daily in the states so we decided to leave and observe Sunday privately. I know also that Simpson Bay church was closed also due to repairs. I didn't check on the others. Hope this helps.

Hi. Here's a picture that we took yesterday.
