From KETC, LIVING ST. LOUIS Producer Jim Kirchherr checks in on the reconstruction and restoration efforts at St. Alphonsus Church in St. Louis' Grand Center neighborhood. Heavily damaged in a fire during August 2007, the historic Catholic church is now covered in scaffolding, with the congregation using the gymnasium next door for mass. The church sustained damage to the roof and steeple from the fire and smoke, as well as water damage inside, but when work is finished the structure will be stronger than before.

  • This video segment included some of my photos which I took just before the fire. These photos are featured in the book "Catholic St. Louis: A Pictorial History" by Fr. William Barnaby Faherty, S.J.
