BATON ROUGE - A St. Anthony Catholic Church building along Tecumseh Street caught on fire Tuesday morning amid snowy weather conditions in Baton Rouge.

The Baton Rouge Fire Department said the main cathedral was not affected, but a building where the priest and other clergy members lived. No injuries were reported. 

Investigators later said the fire appeared to be caused by wires exposed due to ongoing repairs. 

Fire crews said the fire was out by 10 a.m. and all people inside were able to escape and move to a different part of campus.
