In the evening of October 9th, an unknown vandal painted two vulgar inscriptions in front of the chapel of the St. Stephen's parish. The police are investigating.

The Fr. Rector Marek Paska wrote on Facebook: "I regret to inform you that on the night of Friday to Saturday (October 9th) the front of our chapel was destroyed by posting vulgar inscriptions. We regret the fact that the holy place has become the subject of vandalism.
We continue on a missionary prayer, which also covers the perpetrators of this evil act."
