A Virgin Mary statue was set ablaze outside a Boston church Saturday night, said police who are investigating the arson incident.
Officers at 10 p.m. responded to a call for a fire in the area of 284 Bowdoin St. in Dorchester.
On arrival at Saint Peter’s Parish, officers saw that a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary had been set on fire.
A suspect had lit plastic flowers on fire, which were in the hands of the Virgin Mary statue, according to members of the Boston Fire Department Fire Investigation Unit. That caused the statue’s face and upper body to get burned, according to officials.
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Boston said in a statement, “Whoever is responsible for the desecration of the Holy Mother’s statue is clearly a troubled soul. Mary represents all that is good and pure in our world.”
“We have confidence in local law enforcement to investigate this matter,” the spokesman said. “We pray for the person or persons responsible.”
The Boston Police Department is investigating. Police said that anyone with information should contact District C-11 Detectives at 617-343-4335.
Community members who want to remain anonymous can call the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-494-TIPS or by texting the word ‘TIP’ to CRIME (27463).
Police said in a statement, “The Boston Police Department will stringently guard and protect the identities of all those who wish to assist this investigation in an anonymous manner.”
But...not a hate crime.
Massholes
Dorchester makes the headlines almost every night,and never for anything good.
“On arrival at Saint Peter’s Parish, officers saw that a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary had been set on fire.”
Police on the ball yet again. I guess nobody told them that statues are a target these days so no need for special attention.
