St. Joseph Maronite Church in Olean, NY was destroyed by fire this afternoon. Let us keep the new pastor and the parishioners in our prayers.

Prayers for Abouna and the parishioners of St Joseph's - looking at the photo, devastation must be virtually complete.

So sad, I remember when St. Mary's Orthodox Church in South Buffalo burned many years ago. It was like losing a close family member. So many memories. Lord, have mercy.
