Shrine of St. Joseph Is the Latest St. Louis-Area Church Hit by Arson


A historic Catholic church near downtown St. Louis was targeted early Thursday by a suspected arsonist — the seventh apparent attack on a house of worship in two weeks, local authorities said.  

Firefighters rushed to the Shrine of St. Joseph just after 1:30 a.m. CT. The front doors of the rectory had been deliberately burned with a small amount of accelerant, the St. Louis Fire Department said in a news release. The rectory was empty at the time and there were no reported injuries.
