I was saddened to learn earlier today of the vandalism which occurred at Mission San Jos\u00e9 and Mission San Juan Capistrano.

Declaraci\u00f3n del Arzobispo Gustavo Garc\u00eda Siller, MSpS, sobre el acto de vandalismo en las misiones<\/p>\n

Me entristeci\u00f3 enterarme el d\u00eda de hoy del vandalismo ocurrido en la Misi\u00f3n San Jos\u00e9 y la Misi\u00f3n San Juan Capistrano. Las im\u00e1genes tomadas por las c\u00e1maras de seguridad han sido entregadas a las autoridades para su investigaci\u00f3n. Todos tienen derecho a sus propias opiniones, pero expresarlas faltando al respeto a las estructuras religiosas hist\u00f3ricas, que tambi\u00e9n son sitios del Patrimonio Mundial, en un acto sacr\u00edlego es algo horrible. Oramos por aquellos que perpetraron esta destrucci\u00f3n, ya que la paz supera el odio. Trabajemos juntos para preservar la historia, la cultura y la religi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
