St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue wasn’t the only church to be vandalized after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. St. Anthony Parish in Renton was also targeted. Both the FBI and the Department of Justice are aware of the suspected hate crimes.
The Renton church was targeted this week. A spokesperson for the church says the campus was “covered with spray paint” and the “beautiful stained glass windows at St. Anthony’s were broken.”
