Major Repairs Needed for St. Clare Church in Vandalism Incident

The Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton released a statement that reports of how St. Clare Catholic Church was targeted by vandals who threw rocks and stones into the church's windows, and also graffitied the church with satanic and hateful messages and images. 

On October 20, the first incident, three individuals were seen on the property of the church at roughly 4:16 a.m. They had thrown rocks through the windows and spray painted satanic graffiti on the walls of the church building.

On October 22, the second incident, the three individuals were seen again throwing more rocks and breaking more windows. 

The result of both of these incidents have resulted in damages near $190,000. An investigation was opened into these incidents and St. Clare continued to hold and celebrate mass despite the damages.
