Flooding causes closure
(visit link)
"the flood of 2011 was devastating, much worse than the flood of 2006. Hrostowski added that it was a hard decision to close the church. Many parishioners experienced the flooding in their own homes as well. He said it was hard not to get choked up. “I went kindergarten through 8th grade here,” he said. “It was our community and it’s sad to have to see it close down.”"

"In 2012, Davis College purchased Blessed Sacrament Church, which was heavily damaged by flooding in 2011. This acquisition provided the school with its first distinct chapel. In addition, the college hopes to renovate and utilize this property for offices, classrooms, guest speaker housing, and The Practical Institute."
