Police were called to a fire at St. Peter’s Parish in Boston, at around 10 p.m. on July 11. Police confirmed that a statue of the Blessed Virgin, located outside the church had been set on fire and suffered damage. 

On July 10, the Diocese of Brooklyn announced that New York City police were investigating the vandalization of a statue of the Virgin Mary at Cathedral Prep School and Seminary in Queens.

The 100-year-old statue had the word “IDOL” painted down its length. Fr. James Kuroly, of Cathedral Prep, called the incident “an act of hatred.”

Please pray for justice and God’s will be done!
