"Vandalism Hits Sherman Oaks Church: Why Target St. Francis? "

Over the past two months, a church in Sherman Oaks has become the target of repeated vandalism. The latest incident occurred just this past Saturday, when Father Michael Wakefield discovered that a statue outside St. Francis de Sales church had been sprayed with black paint for the fourth time since August 7. This isn't just mindless graffiti; these acts seem to be deliberate and possibly even hateful. The statue has also been set on fire, and a window was broken during one of the earlier incidents. Father Wakefield believes that the vandalism is an attack not only on the church but also on its parishioners. Why would someone do this? It's confusing and upsetting for everyone involved. The church has been trying to stay strong despite these disheartening events. They understand that they can't let these incidents stop them from carrying out their mission. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating the case, hoping to find answers and bring those responsible to justice. If you know anything about these vandalisms, please reach out to the police.
