The Church of the Immaculate Conception in St Omer, Pas-de-Calais, France, was partially destroyed by fire on 2 September.
The fire broke out in the sacristy at 4am and was brought under control at around 7.30am on Monday morning, with the help of 90 firefighters.
The flames spread to the side and central aisles, then to the roof and bell tower, which collapsed. No injuries were reported. About 50 nearby residents were evacuated as a precaution.
The cause of the fire is not yet known. An investigation will be launched.
Not a week goes by without an attack on churches in Europe.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
