Authorities have opened an investigation after a group of young adults desecrated consecrated hosts in a Boffalora sopra Ticino church
On the morning of 1 November, several young adults entered the church in Piazza Matteotti, Boffalora sopra Ticino, and opened the tabernacle containing consecrated hosts, which they removed. They filmed themselves with a mobile phone while handling the hosts and laughing.
An investigation was immediately launched by the authorities. One participant was identified and formally reported, and further enquiries are ongoing to identify the other individuals involved, all believed to be adults residing locally.
