The New York Police Department is seeking a suspect who vandalized St. Anastasia Church in Queens.
The suspect “poured a drink into the baptismal font, removed an undisclosed amount of money from a donation box, and took a cloth from the altar” on March 28, according to a local media report.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has documented over 400 acts of vandalism, arson, and other destruction at parishes and other Catholic sites in the United States since 2020. A tracker at CatholicVote.org lists additional attacks.
