A huge fire tore through St Joseph's Church in Salem, Oregon, on Thursday night. The parish said that the sanctuary was “pretty much a loss.” The parish was founded in 1853, and the current church was built in 1953.
St. Joseph is one of eight parishes in Portland Archdiocese that offer the Latin Mass.
The fire was caused by arson, according to the police. Detectives arrested Billy James Sweeten, age 48.
