Caroline, I’m still thinking about and praying for all the congregation at St. Matt’s. They have been welcomed by many of the churches in Houma to worship in other spaces.
Today is the day the children return to school. Peace with them and in their hearts.
Heartbreaking, isn’t it? It should be several weeks before the cause of the fire is determined.
Lauren, it makes me happy to know this. First Presbyterian, my church, hosted a St. Matt’s wedding on Saturday, and I know Grace Lutheran held services yesterday. My heart is with my kids and colleagues today. It’s weird being away, isn’t it??
Oh no!! How horrible, Caroline! Do you know how the fire started?
Oh, Caroline! That’s horrible. And so very sad for a gorgeous church.

I saw your facebook update (or was it twitter?) on this over the weekend. So sad!! What a beautiful old building with so much history.
I’m always thankful disasters can’t steal our memories of the places they destroy.
So sad.
How horrifying! I hope no one was hurt.
That is so sad.
How heartbreaking. What a beautiful church.
Sorry for the loss.
Oh, that’s terrible! So sorry to hear this.
It was a beautiful church. Hopefully the cause isn’t arson and they can rebuild.
I don’t really know what to say other than this is awful. It was such a beautiful church, and I am so sorry.
The inside was also very beautiful.
Oh, my gosh! That makes me so sad. What a beautiful church it was.
Oh that makes me so sad! I hate to see things like that. My aunt and uncle used to live in Houma, that’s a beautiful place, so thick with history.
