"Hole-ier" tha Thou?
On Tuesday, April 30 around 6 pm a vehicle struck another vehicle and then struck the south wall of the church leaving sizable damage. The police, with the aid of witnesses were able to find the other vehicle and driver after they left the scene. Church insurance has already sent an adjuster and a structural engineer and within a week or two reconstruction of the wall and the interior of the sacrristy should begin. The St. Luke's community is glad that there were no injuries and appreciate the witnesses and the police who , working together were able to bring a swift conclusion to the incident.
