The Catholic cemetery in Rochester, Minnesota was vandalized on Halloween night with satanic and outrageous graffiti.

On Twitter, Bishop Robert Barron shared his outrage.

“I would like to express my outrage at this desecration and my assurance of prayers for the families of those whose final resting places have been so dishonoured. »

In this press release, the bishop specifies that the diocese will collaborate with the police so that those responsible are brought to justice. “Cemetery staff are working diligently to repair the damage and restore the grounds,” he adds.

Steven Flynn, cemetery superintendent, spoke with the Catholic News Agency. He claims that five cemetery memorial walls, two tombstones, a statue of Christ and a cross were covered in graffiti, including vulgar messages and the words "In Satan we believe".
