A statement from the Diocese of Winona-Rochester says several graves and the columbarium were defaced with what was described as “hateful and obscene graffiti.” Bishop Robert Barron expressed his outrage towards the vandalism and pledged to bless and re-consecrate the final resting places once the repair work is completed. 

He said the Diocese is cooperating with the Rochester Police Department to bring justice to the people responsible for the vandalism.
