Palisades Fire destroys Corpus Christi Catholic church, damages school
A church in Pacific Palisades appeared to be totally destroyed and more than sixty Catholic schools were closed as several major fires in the Los Angeles area burned overnight into Wednesday.
Images shared with Angelus showed only the frame of the Corpus Christi Catholic Church structure remaining as of Wednesday morning. There were also unverified reports of damage to Corpus Christi’s parish school.
In addition, at least 65 Catholic schools were closed Wednesday morning as a result of several fires burning in the LA-area, including the Eaton Fire near Altadena and the Hurst Fire in the northern San Fernando Valley.
