The Saint-Pierre Church of the Province and the Diocese of Liege in Belgium was vandalized again. Stones were thrown through the windows of the church breaking ten of them. A trunk with candle offerings was also broken again.

Parish priest Fr. Teheux confirmed that his church is frequently vandalised. Often, he finds human excrements in the church – in the corners of the church, in the confession booth or even on the altar. He insists however that his church remains open to the public.
