We lost nothing in the fire, NY1 is misinformed. Very lucky. The front door and entryway are damaged, but no relief goods or toys lost.

Father Chris Ballard told WCBS 2, "We believe that it was arson. There are some gas cans that were found at both entrances. So, it was intentional. Services have been canceled for today and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are on hold. We probably won’t be able to get back into the church by then but this is the season of reconciliation and what darkness lives in the hearts of the person who did this, we don’t know. But this is the season to forgive and try to be compassionate for the illness that this person has."
