Bayonne Church Is Third Vandalized In Hudson County In 2 Weeks
BAYONNE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) - For the third time in two weeks, a church has been vandalized in Hudson County.
Parishioners discovered a crucifix destroyed on the lawn of St. Vincent de Paul Church in Bayonne Wednesday night.
A witness told police a man uprooted the cross, threw it on the ground, then smashed it against a wall until it broke into pieces.
The value of the statue is approximately $1,500, but the pastor at St. Vincent de Paul told CBS2's Nina Kapur the sanctity and significance of the statue was worth much more.
Earlier this month, statues were defaced outside St. Michael's Church and St. Lucy's Church in Jersey City.
