I didn’t see this make the national news.

“The evidence points to an intentionally set fire at the front doors of the fellowship hall,” said Mount Airy Fire Chief Zane Poindexter.

The fire was set around 3 a.m. at the entrance to the parish hall, which is now used for most Masses. The blaze damaged the overhang and ruined the doors. Gasoline was poured on the front doors and set on fire, said Father Lawrence Heiney, pastor of Holy Angels Church.

This is sad. I hope they find who committed this act of arson.
