You may have seen in the Buffalo News or on the television about the damage to our Mary. Here is a link to the article in the News: http://buffalonews.com/2018/05/16/statue-smashed-with-baseball-bat-outside-east-side-church/
Our ‘Mary’ Statue
How awful! Can she be repaired? It would take a really black heart to do something so very terrible !
Thank you for your concern. The damage is too extensive to repair. The criminal has been caught and will have his day in court on Wednesday…a very troubled individual.
Shameful. Especially since the church has an outreach program for the young. Was this a gang initiation or just a random act of religious stupidity?
The boy/man who did this has been arrested and will be in court on Wednesday. Hopefully he will be justly convicted!
