On the night of 14-15 January, unknown offenders committed an act of vandalism in the cemetery of the Parish of the Nativity of St John the Baptist in Tychy-Cielmice, Poland. The oak cross was destroyed with an axe, and the figure of Jesus was removed from the cross, smashed and thrown into a rubbish bin. The police are now investigating.
Following the attack, the parish priest, Father Wojszczyk, announced that he would hold a mass to ask for the grace of conversion and God's forgiveness for the perpetrators.
