Saint-Martin de Dunières Church Closes Due To Vandalism
The Church of Saint-Martin de Dunières announced on August 15 that it would remain closed, except for services, until further notice. The cause was a series of acts of vandalism which happened in the past two months.
According to a parishioner, “It started with anomalies concerning the candles.” All the candles in front of the statue of Mary were being lit, without of course their price having been paid. Next, matches were found strewn around, sometimes arranged in designs. The parishioners also found that bouquets were damaged, microphones taped, chips and, more surprisingly, sprouted potatoes were scattered.
The identity of the perpetrator(s) is unknown.
