Just a very quick translation, for our American cousins. Claude is reporting that there was serious vandalsm at the end of April, at the Cemetery in St. Canut. This community, as most of you know is right near St. Columban and was the bruial place for a number of families directly related to the St. Columban Irish settlers.

Claude is also saying that there was another case of vandalism a few days later, ?at the little Catholic chapel, built in 1936, at the Bonnibrooke Golf Course. Again, as most of you know, this Golf Course is in St. Columban. This vandalism also included the breaking of a number of stained glass windows that had been imported from Italy more than 80 years ago. :'(

We will post a proper translation of the article that Claude mentions in the next day or two....There is also the following web site that shows the article that Claude mentions (in French) as well as a picture of the broken windows....

And these are my own comments -

This useless destruction is simply terrible and I can think of a few things I would like to do these vandals if I could get me hands on them !!!
