BOULDER, Colo. — Statue by statue and wall by wall, crews worked to remove the graffiti, paint, and broken glass left behind after a night of vandalism at Sacred Heart of Mary Church in Boulder.
“We're disappointed that we can't have a peaceful conversation about such a hot topic and instead, people resort to violence. But we kind of understand, at least I do,” said parishioner Charlie Danaher.“We think this is related to an annual pro-life memorial we have on our front lawn every October," Danaher said."For Respect Life Month, we put out 3,000 crosses, signifying how many abortions there are in the United States every single day.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office confirmed deputies were called out to the church Wednesday morning for a report of vandalism. Investigators believe the incident happened Tuesday night and that there are multiple suspects.“The graffiti is similar in nature to what we saw at the church in September 2021 ," the sheriff's office said in a statement."We can’t yet conclusively say that it is related to September’s incident, but the crimes are very similar in nature.
Danaher believes the vandalism was motivated by the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that shows a majority of the justices are poised to overturn the 1973 case Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion nationwide.“We don't really dwell on that," Danaher said."Although we know, of course, that's the price that we may pay for being in this conversation and in this cultural battle, but we don't really dwell on that.
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office says no arrests have been made in last year's vandalism case. For this most recent case, investigators are still collecting and reviewing evidence, including surveillance video.

Resilience, anger as New Mexico wildfire burns 'sacred land'Daniel Encinias stands next to his camping trailer in a New Mexico evacuation area and says he will rebuild his home torched by the largest wildfire burning in the United States. He just wants the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to pay for it. The USFS has confirmed that one of its controlled burns went out of control early last month and later merged with another fire to become the second largest blaze in state history at 160,104 acres (65,000 hectares).
