Statue of the Virgin Mary desecrated and covered with garbage can AGAIN

The Catholic League of Massachusetts called both incidents "appalling, depraved, and sacrilegious expression."

Outside the St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish in Dorchester, a trash can was found on top of the Virgin Mary statue on two separate occasions last week.

The first attack happened overnight on July 11, according to the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts .

An unidentified person entered the parish grounds and emptied the contents of a trash barrel onto a church walkway.

The person then placed the barrel over the head of the statue of the Virgin Mary.

Just four days later on July 16, the statue was targeted again.

A passerby and Dorcester resident, Paul McGrath, discovered the same barrel over the head of the same statue and quickly notified the parish priest.

McGrath recorded a video of his discovery and posted it on social media.

"I hope that the authorities seriously look into this matter, and approach the individual/individuals to explain that their actions go against any and all arguments that they may have against peace, love, and understanding," McGrath said.

Following the second incident, the Executive Director of the Catholic League of Massachusetts C.J. Doyle. spoke with news agency .

The Catholic Action League is calling upon the Boston Police to undertake a hate crime investigation into these two incidents.

What's more, just a mile away from St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish, another church's Virgin Mary statue was set on fire on July 12.
