A Catholic cemetery in Minnesota was vandalized on Halloween night. Disrespectful and satanic graffiti was displayed on graves and images in the cemetery.

Newsroom (05/11/2022 08:30, Gaudium Press) In the State of Minnesota, in the United States, a Catholic cemetery was vandalized on the night of 31 October, the ‘feast’ of Halloween.

Mr. Steven Flynn, the director of Calvary Cemetery in the Diocese of Rochester, affirmed that five commemorative walls, two slabs of graves, an image of Christ and a cross were disgracefully graffitied by vandals.

The phrases left behind are obscene, outrageous and satanic: as in one example, “In Satan we have confidence.” Staff at the cemetery are working to repair and clean up the traces of the vandalism.

Flynn said he was angered to see the graffiti, especially since 2 November is the cemetery’s most important day, when people come to visit their deceased loved ones’ gravesites.
