Parishioners of the Diocese of Radom hold expiatory service

Parishioners from the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Radom held an expiatory service to ask for forgiveness following the profanation of several shrines and holy sites across the city. During the service, the faithful sang supplications to apologize to God for the acts of vandalism.

The service included the blessing of a restored historic shrine located at the intersection of Kwiatkowskiego and Białej streets by parish priest Roman Adamczyk. A group of believers repaired the site by installing a new grate and reinforced glass.

The vandalism, which involved covering religious monuments with paint, affected numerous locations in Radom, including shrines on Limanowskiego, Słowackiego, Wierzbickiej, and Ofiar Firleja streets. The damage also extended to a figure on the cathedral facade on Sienkiewicza street and a figure at the intersection of Młodzianowskiej and Wiejskiej streets. Police arrested a 34-year-old man in connection with the damage, and prosecutors have presented him with 12 charges.
