Portland, OR, Parishioners Rebuild after Church Attack

"Members of Our Lady of Lavang Parish in Portland, Oregon did not let an attack stall their Christmas observances.

"Volunteers at the Vietnamese Catholic community gathered Christmas Eve, tools in hand, to repair their church, which had been seriously damaged when a man intentionally drove his SUV into the worship space and repeatedly crashed through the pews. In addition to the pews, walls and doors were heavily damaged."

In a recent commentary, Deacon Greg Kandra reported on this attack at Our Lady of Lavang Church and the parish's response.
