St-Pierre Church in Liege Vandalized Again

Country: Belgium

Date of incident: August 26, 2014


Saint-Pierre Church of the province and the Diocese of Liege in Belgium was vandalized once more. Stones were thrown into the windows of the church and ten of them have been broken. Beside, a trunk with candle offerings was broken into.

The local priest Fr. Teheux confirmed that vandalism takes place very often in this church. Concerning the windows, the pieces of glasses are very old and it is difficult to substitute them. He also mentioned that very often they find human excrements in the church – in the corners of the church, in the confession booth or even on the altar. However, he wants to keep the church still open. Sources:
