About this sermon
Weekend vandalism struck 3 houses of worship in Bethesda, Maryland near Washington DC. St. Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Church suffered the worst damage from a fire believed to be arson in its sanctuary. A video posted on the parish's YouTube channel appears to show flames near the tabernacle. Sunday Mass had to be conducted in the school gymnasium. Two neighboring churches were also vandalized. Authorities are investigating. Pastor at St. Jane Frances de Chantal, Fr. Samuel Giese, joins to tell us what happened over the weekend and his reaction when he found out. Fr. Samuel shares what he has heard from his parishioners. As he has seen parishes getting attacked nationwide over the past few month, Fr. Samuel discusses whether he was concerned about his own parish and what steps he took to prepare. However, following the arson, the pastor of St. Jane Frances de Chantal spoke to his congregation saying the Church is more than a physical building. He fills us in on his message.
