Structural problems force the closing of Muscatine church

April 16, 2013 By Radio Iowa Contributor

An historic Muscatine church has closed its doors to regular services. The Muscatine Journal reports that structural problems — including a sagging floor and deteriorating brick exterior and roof — have prompted officials to discontinue regular services at St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

The Reverend Jason Crossen told the paper an early estimate of repairs was more than $1 million. Crossen says parishioners feel strongly about maintaining the church, which was built in the 1800s.
