The churches are all on the same road.
“People are coming in today shocked. There were some small attempts to burn some of the pews. Some books were shredded, and the stations of the cross were removed from the wall,” said Patricia Zapor, director of media relations for the Archdiocese of Washington.
“In both cases, there were some associated vandalism with that. Again, there are similarities, not too far apart, relatively same time of night occurring and both being churches,” Piringer said.“Again, this was an arson, intentionally set fires,” Piringer said. “We are a community of faith, and we are deeply committed to resilience and recovery. This is a classic example of being tested by fire, and the St. Jane Parish community will rise and will come through this in fine form,” Zapor said.
