Graffiti on the doors of Holy Redeemer Church in North Portland was discovered early July 12. âItâs a crime and the police are looking into it,â but itâs not the persistent vandalism thatâs occurred nationwide and locally, said Holy Cross Fr. Michael Belinsky, parochial vicar. âWe have not been subject to that,â he said, nor to the relentless, violent persecution Christians face in other parts of the globe.

Parish staff are discussing ways to beef up security measures. (Courtesy St. Patrick Parish)
