The Church of the 'Bon Pasteur' was visited by vandals who tried to put it on fire after having done much damages.

A parishioner came to close the church on April Saturday 28th and saw smoke coming out of the building. The firemen where immediately called and noted the damage done in the church: the altar was destroyed, churches and benches damages, chandeliers broken, and electrical wires pulled out of the wall. The fire was lit in three different places and caused much damage as well.
