Fire set to church in Mazara

Country: Italy

Date of incident: September 1, 2024


In the night between September 1 and 2, unknown persons set the fire to the side door of the "Church of the Miracle" which is located in Via Casa Santa, in Mazara. The attack is a worrying sign of the continuation of criminal acts in the town.

The Church of the Miracle is not only a church, but also houses important institutions such as the Diocesan Caritas and  the San Vito Onlus Foundation, where citizens deposit old and used clothes for the Caritas to take care of it. This pile of old clothes facilitated the action of the vandals, allowing the fire to spread and seriously damage the wooden door of the church.
