HIGHLAND -- Tragedy struck SS. Anthony and Philip Parish here around 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, when a fire broke out at St. Anthony Church and destroyed most of the building.
Fire departments from 10 communities worked together to put the fire out, but to no avail. The fire, which most likely began in the attic, continued to burn Thursday and left only brick structure standing.

There was no indication of how the fire started. No one was injured. Full Story ...
