St. Anselm Church parishioners vow to repair desecrated statues
Parishioners of Saint Anselm Catholic Church, who were heartbroken when a vandal drenched two religious statues on the church grounds with red paint in a shocking attack on five religious institutions in Bay Ridge on July 30, vowed that their statues will rise again.
Dan Texeira, president of the Parish Pastoral Planning Council, said the church members are eager to get the statues fixed, or if they can’t be fixed, replace them.
“They’ll be back,” Texeira told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
