Vandalized! 😢 This morning as we made our way to the chapel we discovered that one of the 60 year old stained glass windows of our chapel, a tender image of the Child Jesus held by the Blessed Mother, had been violently smashed. Shards of broken glass were sprayed across the interior of the chapel. In addition to the broken window, a banner of Our Lady of Guadalupe was torn down, and thrown onto the side walk where the perpetrator of this hate crime burned Our Mother's image to a crisp. The day that followed was one of many emotions. And, much work by the friars to cover the stained glass windows with new sheets of Plexiglas for their protection. Please pray for peace in our neighborhood. 🙏
