Vandals Hit Church

Just a few months after the congregation of a New Brunswick church held opening ceremonies, vandals have attacked the Anglican house of worship, causing more than $10,000 in damage. The vandals threw rocks through five exterior windows and two interior stained glass windows at the Church of the Resurrection, which is home to members of the parish of the Nerepis and St. John.Police are looking for those responsible for the desecration of the church. Sgt. Gary Fournier, of Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP, said the first call of vandalism was made to police just after 10 a.m. on Friday, then two days later police were called back again to investigate damage that was more severe.
