Parish Office Damage and Disruption
The Parish Office sustained damage during the storms passing through Roanoke Rapids on Friday, May 16, 2025, around 6:30 PM.
The large oak tree has been removed from the roof, but the repairs and damage assessment continue.
The Parish Office is temporarily located at 9 East 7th Street in the Parish House.
The repairs are extensive. The roof, trusses, chimney, plumbing exhaust, electrical connections, ceilings, and more must be repaired and inspected. Kenneth Daniel Roofing is working with All Saints and Church Insurance Group to make repairs.
We can answer the phone in the parish house, but if we call out from the phone it shows an unknown number. Without more fees, we cannot overcome this issue. We can receive calls on our number.
We can check USPS mail and email. Please be patient as we handle this disruption.
Services on Sundays at 11:15 and on Wednesdays at 12:00 continue without issue. All are welcome!
We are awaiting arrival of necessary building materials to begin repair work. Obtaining the necessary supplies has been challenging. This update is current as of September 9, 2025.
