As reported by SaltWire, Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Clarenville, in Newfoundland and Labrador suffered 17 smashed windows and a broken TV due to vandalism. 

All the windows of the lower level of the church were affected, similarly the basement was strewn with rocks, glass and debris. The children's Sunday School room used to teach the program was found in the same state with their TV broken as well.  The church kitchen was found to be affected by the vandalism as well. The upper sanctuary, thankfully, was not affected.

Rev. Brian Colbert calls the vandalism a "senseless violence". The vandalism costs the church more than $10,000 of damages, and are in the process of professional cleaning and repair. 

The RCMP and Rev. Brian are both asking that anyone with information regarding this incident please come forward.
