The New Haven parish is the most recent attack on Catholic churches who have experienced a spike in vandalism and desecration.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A church in the New Haven, Connecticut parish at which the Knights of Columbus was founded was vandalized this week, with a satanic symbol painted on the door.
Fr. Michael McGivney, who will soon be beatified, began his priestly ministry at St. Mary’s Parish in New Haven, the city’s first parish, in 1877. The priest founded the Knights of Columbus there in 1882.
In 2018, nearby St. Joseph Church became part of St. Mary's Parish during a diocesan consolidation process. Dominican Fr. John Paul Walker, the parish pastor said in a Facebook post Thursday that vandalism at St. Joseph Church had taken place overnight.
“Words and various symbols including a satanic one were painted on the outside doors of the church,” Fr. Walker said.
“While we assess the situation and make plans to bless the church, the church will remain closed at least through the end of the day today,” he said. “Our two daily Masses, confessions, and afternoon Adoration are therefore canceled. We will be live streaming Mass at noon from the priory chapel.”
Mass and other liturgies ordinarily take place at both church buildings in the parish. But because of renovations underway at St. Mary's Church, all parish liturgies have been taking place in St. Joseph Church.
Fr. Walker wrote on Facebook that it is not yet clear if the church will be able to reopen Friday. When it does reopen, it will be unlocked during Mass and confession times only.

I’m amazed at how passive people are in the face of this desecration of Christianity. I really believed attacks on religious symbols would be the firewall; I guess I was wrong.
Christians have been misled to believe that Christ would be passive.
Our parish implemented new security systems a year ago that integrates 16 high-resolution cameras and several intrusion detection systems.
Slime balls try any funny stuff at our church and we’ll catch them.
America is coming unglued FRiend.
Nothing is a firewall anymore.
Welcome to lawlessness.
Needs to be repeated over and over that NONE of these perpetrators ever vote Republican.
Why would you think that would be different than watching a country’s history be torn down in the form of statues and flags?
This country is certainly not the most religious it’s ever been and the left is as atheistic and probably devil worshipping as it ever was
Hey, morons, try doing your satanic drawing on a mosque and see what you get. Morons...
Just an opinion.
This is painful for me, as I spent a lot of time in that church and took my First Degree there back in the ‘90s. I also fled Connecticut shortly after getting married in ‘97. I am not sure what we can do from here in Arizona other than pray and work in our local church.
Time to weaponize the Knights of Columbus with AR-15s instead of ceremonial swords, and a lot of this could come to a screeching halt!
Swords were the weapons of choice way back in the 1700s. That was SO yesterday!
Surprised NCR even reported on this. There is so much to report on BLM and illegal aliens sad stories.
Why would you be surprised? Low to no attendance and catholic church supports these animals. The devils have come to roost for the churches satanic behavior. God is allowing the Catholic church to be destroyed.
As “The Book” says, we win.
Can those high-resolution cameras spot intrusion by unvaccinated Catholics wishing to offer private adoration and seeking the Sacraments during the scamdemic?
