The small parish of St. Barbara's in Cloverdale (between Defiance and Lima) had their church almost leveled in yesterday's storm. From their Facebook page:
Please
pray for the Cloverdale community and our St. Barbara's parish. For
those of you who have not heard exactly what happened, our church has
been almost completely leveled by the storm and the rectory badly
damaged (the parish hall is still standing). The front entrance of the
church is still standing but the rest is gone. The back shrine with the
holy family and St Barbara statue is still intact
and the votive candles are actually still burning. The tabernacle with
Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament has been buried in the rubble, so
pray that we will be able to get it out so Fr. Jerry can make sure the
Eucharist is not lost. Again, please pray for the community, as there
is much sorrow and grief over the loss of such a great temple
