ORLEANS COUNTY, N.Y. — A Catholic Church in Orleans County is picking up the pieces after a fire Tuesday morning.
The Buffalo Diocese tells 2 On Sour Side, the fire started in a classroom of the Our Lady of the Lake- St. Joseph site in Lyndonville around 4:30 a.m.
Investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire, but the Diocese suspects a wall heater may have been cause of the fire.
While the amount of damage is still being figured out, the classroom is destroyed, and the church nave suffered extensive damage from the heat and smoke. But the Diocese says there is no damage to the roof, and they intend to repair the church.
Mass at Our Lady of the Lake- St. Joseph site will be canceled while the church undergoes repairs.
