Severe Vandalism in the Church of Notre-Dame in Lencloitre
On July 29, the church of Notre-Dame de Lencloître was the target of acts of vandalism by unknown perpetrators. The vandals broke into the tabernacle, threw the ciborium and hosts to the ground and broke the candles. They also left tendentious drawings on dusty chairs. The parish priest has reported the incident to the police.
Father Georges Skotnicki, parish priest of Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus-en-Châtelleraudais, said that the discovery of the vandalism was a real shock. A reparation mass was celebrated by the episcopal vicar because of the act of desacration.
