The pastor says a white stone statue of Jesus in front of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church was spray-painted with black paint on Sunday.

On Tuesday night, graffiti was spray-painted on the front and back of the church and along the wall of a neighbouring school.

Those incidents follow one last month when the pastor says two-thousand dollars in donations was stolen by suspects who also broke the hands of the Sacred Heart statue.
