Parishioners of Holy Family Catholic Church in South Fork,

It is with sad news that I hear of the structural problems with the church in South Fork.  I pray that it is a problem that can be fixed soon, and you may continue to celebrate Holy Mass as usual.

Due to the damage and the fear that it might lead to a collapse of the roof, Bishop Berg and I would like to inform you that effective immediately, no one is to enter the church without permission of Father Albert.  Father Albert and the parish staff will be working with some local people to help shore up the wall in the sacristy until a more detailed investigation of the damage can be made.

It comes at a difficult time, with Christmas Eve celebrations already scheduled, but due to the safety of all, we have asked Father Albert to cancel Masses until it may be deemed safe to use.

Be assured of our prayers for you and the visitors of South Fork during this time.

God Bless!

Sincerely,
Very Rev. Derrek Scott, VG
Vicar General
