From Louisiana-
The congregation of St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church has been displaced for eight months now.
They still gather to worship, using loaned space at Grace Lutheran Church, but members admit they long to return home.
Home used to be a 112-year-old cypress building nestled under an umbrella of majestic oaks on Barrow Street near Main Street. That building was destroyed in a Nov. 11 fire that burned for hours, fueled by the seasoned and lacquered cypress.
The fire’s cause is classified as undetermined by Houma Fire Inspector Mike Millet, but the church’s insurance inspectors blame faulty electrical wiring.
On Tuesday, church officials and others will meet to discuss plans and potential contractors.
Members say they are grateful to Grace Lutheran for giving them refuge, but they miss having a place of their own.
