A sacrilege near of the st. Joseph temple
We want to inform with great pain about sacrilege, which was made with the Crucifixion in front of the building of the Roman-Catholic church in Dnipropetrovsk. On the night of the 20th of February, 2009 some unknown persons turned the Cross, that was settled on the place of prayerful meetings. The Cross was outside of the pavement and didn’t stand in passers’-by way. Only spiritually blind people, disposed aggressively to all sacred things, could venture to do such an act, which is considered as an act of vandalism in all societies. That’s why we apprehend it as humiliation of our religious feelings and a sign of disrespect to the Roman-Catholic Church.
The Roman-Catholic parish is going to apply with a official letter to the public prosecutor of Dnipropetrovsk region, to the Administration of home affairs of Dnipropetrovsk and to the Governor with a petition about protection and investigation of those people, who are guilty of sacrilege.
In the evening the believers are going to meet near the Cross fo penitence pray.
