Church members are counted among the victims of a deadly earthquake that shook central Italy on Monday.

No members or missionaries were killed or injured in the magnitude-6.3 temblor, although three member families reportedly lost their homes in the disaster.

The earthquake hit the city of L'Aquila and several towns covering 230 square miles in central Italy early Monday, April 6, leveling buildings and reducing entire blocks to piles of rubble, according to the Associated Press. It was the worst quake to hit Italy in three decades.

"They are still having tremors and aftershocks," Italy Rome Mission President Jeffrey Acerson told the Church News on Wednesday, April 8. "There are still people missing."
