Support: St. John Neumann Shrine's Window Vandalism Repairs

In February of 2024, Staff at the shrine “discovered that someone had thrown a brick and stones” through the three windows, said Kenneth A. Gavin, chief communications officer of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, in an emailed statement to OSV News.

“This incident was reported to the Philadelphia Police Department that day,” said Gavin. “The Shrine’s security camera showed one of the rocks going through the window at 5:33 a.m. Monday (Feb. 19) and landing in the choir section of the Shrine.”

The damage estimate to the windows is

$ 41,000. The Shrine received a $25,000 grant.

We need to help the Shrine raise $16,580 to get the windows repaired!!

I’m asking for $10 from 1,600 Catholics to make this happen! Please share on your Facebook Page and LinkedIn Page!!!

All donations go directly to The Shrine of Saint John Neumann “Stainless Glass” fund!!

Let's make a difference!!
