Parishioners of Mission害羞草研究所檚 St. Joseph害羞草研究所檚 Catholic Parish had an unpleasant surprise when they arrived at church on Sunday morning.

Vandals had struck, painting graffiti all over the doors of the building.

Father George Edattukaran said some people were 害羞草研究所渞attled害羞草研究所� by the sight.

害羞草研究所淪omebody had written 666, 666, 666, you know, all over the front in completely big numbers. And then downstairs also on the doors and on the walls, again 666 and 害羞草研究所楯udge Me.害羞草研究所� So it must be somebody who knows a little bit of scripture,害羞草研究所� said Edattukaran.

The number 666 (the number of the beast) is often associated with the devil and is mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Modern movies and literature suggest the number is associated with the Antichrist.

Edattukaran believes the graffiti was placed on the church either late Saturday night or early Sunday morning and while there has been writing on the church like this before, the timing of it makes him think 害羞草研究所渢here is a kind of plan害羞草研究所� behind it.

He said there have been some people that are 害羞草研究所渟howing some kind of hatred害羞草研究所� in the world recently and he hopes this incident does not escalate into more serious things

害羞草研究所淣owadays there are a lot of things happening all over the world. People feel that they can take a free shot at anybody and anything. It害羞草研究所檚 a sad situation.害羞草研究所�

At this time, the church has not reported the incident to the Mission RCMP, but are planning to, later today to get the situation on the record.

Other than that, Edattukaran plans to continue as normal.

害羞草研究所淲e are not nervous, because we do not get intimidated by these things 害羞草研究所� there is no reason for this to be written on private property. We are not causing a problem to anybody.害羞草研究所�
