This is a news article with a video report filed on Friday that a local ABC affiliate covered regarding ongoing vandalism at St. John the Baptizer Ukrainian Catholic Church in San Diego, CA.

http://www.10news.com/news/21681428/detail.html

Please pray for the members of this parish that these attacks to the hall and church will stop.

Lord have mercy!

This is so sad, but they must be doing a wonderful work for our Lord.

I had the privilege of meeting Fr james, Pani Mataka and the children while I was in the USA. I do hope that someone can help replace what was stolen and that the good work they are doing will continue.

It would be sensible to organize a fund to support the repairs and the replacement of specific items, here and in other places where Churches have been attacked in similar ways.

Several years ago it came to my attention that antique dealers in Belgium were actually "commissioning thieves" to visit named churches and steal specific items of worship or veneration for customers who wanted them!

What next?

Fr. Serge
