Monday morning, investigators from the city’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Task Force were on the scene trying to determine the origin and cause of fire as well as whether anything at all will be able to be salvaged. By the afternoon, officials said they had to do a partial demolition and take down the steeple for safety concerns.
As far as the time capsule goes, they are working with St. Leo’s former church officials to locate and salvage the momentos. But tracking them down will not be easy. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia closed the church in 2013, when it merged 24 parishes into 10 and left a number of historic neighborhood anchors vacant. St. Leo’s merged with Our Lady of Consolation Parish. Still, it was common for neighbors to worship there and use the space for functions until January 2019 when the Archdiocese closed it permanently.

SAN ANTONIO The before Balcones Heights Police Sgt. Joey Sepulveda was shot this week, the 18-year veteran gave a tour of the police department to 8th graders of Saint Gregory the Great Catholic School.
Principal Daniel Martinez said they can always count on Sepulveda. Anytime we need anything, he is the man that is there, Martinez said. Every single day, he drives by the school and checks on our students. Checks on us.
