Churches appear to have escaped Fiona’s wrath

A man walks through the debris of destroyed homes along the coastline in Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland, Sept. 25, 2022. Canadian troops are being sent to assist the recovery from the devastation from Fiona, which hit the country's Atlantic provinces as a post-tropical storm and swept away houses, stripped off roofs and knocked out power.

Damage inflicted to church properties throughout the Maritimes by post-tropical storm Fiona has yet to be tabulated, but it seems for the most part Catholic Church property has escaped relatively unscathed after one of the strongest weather systems to ever hit Atlantic Canada.
