NORCROSS--Mary Our Queen Mission is still on schedule to move into its first church April 30, despite damage to the structure and site caused by the April 9 tornado.

Father David Dye, priest in charge of the mission, said that 50 to 100 trees fell on the property in Peachtree Corners and one tree fell on the building. He said that damage is estimated at $5,000.

"God has really landscaped the property," he said. "We had plans, but God had other plans."

Father Dye also said that the homes of two or three parishioners of Mary Our Queen were destroyed. Ten to 12 families in the parish had significant damage, including six or seven who had trees fall onto their homes.

Mary Our Queen is holding a work day Saturday, April 18, beginning at 8 a.m. to help parishioners clean up their homes and property.

Father Dye said that if insurance companies have taken care of the parishioners before Saturday, the work day will be spent cleaning up the site of the new church. The mission is constructing its first multipurpose building with a worship space, offices, parish hall, classrooms and a nursery.
