Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis will be reconsecrated before it again holds Mass after the August 27th shooting during a Mass for schoolchildren left two children dead and 18 other victims wounded. “The church does make provision” for reconsecrating a church building after a desecration, Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda told OSV News Aug. 28. “I’ve never had to do that, but I think it will be an important time. Here, where the church is still a crime scene and where there’s been substantial destruction, I think it’s probably going to be a while before we’re able to do that.”
