Attack on Derry church ‘disgraceful’ - Derry Councillor

The attack, which happened as the Church was making preparations for special Christmas services over the coming days, has been condemned.

Sinn Féin Councillor for the area Mickey Cooper said: “It’s disgraceful that anyone would even contemplate attacking a place of worship.

“The Holy Family Chapel is at the centre of the local community and this is the last thing they need to be dealing with before Christmas.

“In the attack a window was broken, and flower arrangements destroyed.”

Colr. Cooper said he has been in contact with the parochial house and offered whatever assistance is needed.

“I would urge anyone who has any information on those responsible to bring it forward,” he added.
