The sanctuary of Carmel of Cesana Brianza has been seriously damaged. The parish of Santi Fermo e Rustico reported the incident on Facebook. To report the episode, promptly reported to the authorities, is the parish of Saints Fermo and Rustico who on their facebook page reported the incident: "In the evening, numerous underage teenagers gather, leaving dirt and damage. To the children we say: the sanctuary is a place of silence and prayer, do not ruin it with irresponsible behaviour! This is no place to bivouac! We respect the sacredness".

So, the appeal to parents: "We invite the parents of the adolescents of Cesana and Suello not to pretend nothing: don't accuse them but don't defend them either! Talk to them, ask what they do, where they go, who they hang out with. Worry about their growth, and correct them if they're wrong. We don't always blame others, "I'm not from the country." For their sake, let's make them understand what is right and what is wrong.
