apparently theyve decided that maybe the steeple can be saved? and that it's worth it to try & raise money for the other damaged steeples in the city?

i dont see a website up for this yet, just this:

Isn't St. Bananaphat the patron Saint of plantain?

Yes, I think that is where the expression; "The bells of Bananaphat were a-pealing" came from, circa 1307A.D.

I suppose if they're holding Mass or during office hours, but why would you if there are two more convenient options?

Understood. However, consider the place is certainly completely understaffed - you'll be doing them an additional favor just by donating online. I've worked in similar environments. The church is even better when Mass is being held and they're ready to welcome visitors.
