“The police came here this morning but I haven’t heard any more from them as of 3 this afternoon,” Nickolai told CNA in an email.
He said he encourages Catholics to “pray, fast, and make sacrifices for the conversion of hearts” in the face of the vandalism.
Officer Adrian Washington with the St. Louis County Police Public Information Office told CNA on Tuesday that the “destruction of property/vandalism is being investigated” and that police do not have suspect information to share at this time.
Missouri is one of nearly a dozen states that passed a total ban on abortion, with limited exceptions, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
Since a draft of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe was leaked to the press in May 2022, CNA has tracked 112 incidents of vandalism attacks against Catholic churches, pro-life pregnancy centers, maternity homes, and other pro-life organizations across the country. These attacks have taken the form of vulgar graffiti, property damage, threats, theft, and arson.
