Historic Church St. John the Baptist Broken Into in Polska, Alberta

The Catholic Register reports that the historic Catholic Church, St. John the Baptist was broken into on September 19, and there was considerable damage: the statue of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus was broken, a statue of St. John the Baptist ruined, the tabernacle and candle-holders also damaged. Since the Church is not in continued use, save for one annual mass for the celebration of St. John the Baptist's feast day, it was kept as a historic building. The RCMP were notified, however, there are no witnesses of the incident.
