Vandals target Brockton parish

EYEOPENER'S NICOLE ESTAPHAN
IS IN BROCKTON.
THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE
PARISH HAS BEEN TARGETED.
>> GOOD MORNING.
THAT'S RIGHT, EMILY.
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN JUST
OVER A YEAR.
LOOK AT THE DAMAGE BEHIND ME.
YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THESE STATUES
HEAVILY VANDALIZED.
THE LATEST CRIME DAMAGING THREE
STATUES, INCLUDING THE ONE OF
ST. EDITH STEIN.
THE CHURCH IN HER NAMESAKE.
ALL THREE SPRAY-PAINTED.
THE CRIME LEAVES THE 2,000
PARISHIONERS WHO WORSHIP HERE IN
SHOCK.
>> I TRULY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
ANYBODY WOULD WANT TO DO SUCH A
THING.
REALLY, WHAT HAS THIS CHURCH
EVER DONE TO THEM?
>> IN THE CASE A YEAR AGO,
STATUES WERE DAMAGED AND WINDOWS
WERE BROKEN.
IN THAT CASE, AN EAGLE SCOUT
HELPED REPAIR THEM.
IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON
THIS LATEST VANDALISM, YOU'RE
ASKED TO GIVE THE BROCKTON
POLICE A CALL.
