Catholic Civil Rights League
The Church Attacks Database, maintained by the Catholic Civil Rights League, is a comprehensive record of incidents affecting Catholic churches and sites across Canada. We document vandalism, arson, graffiti, and other acts of desecration, drawing from verified news reports and official sources. This resource is intended for researchers, journalists, community members, and anyone seeking factual information about these events.
Please consider supporting our efforts to maintain and expand this important database. Please send in tips about any incidents you have information regarding. Also, your financial contributions help us continue to shed light on these incidents and advocate for the protection of religious sites.
