Historic church rebuilds after lightning strikes the building

After a long nine months, members of a Catholic church in Andale are counting their blessings as their doors have re-opened.

Sunday morning, members of the St. Joseph Catholic Church piled into the historic building and filled the pews.

“It’s our spiritual centerpiece,” says Tony Lane, a long-time congregation member.

But last summer the place of worship in southern Kansas was empty, lightning struck the building and devastated the community’s only church.
