1. St. Patrick Catholic Church 

On March 15, St. Patrick Catholic Church in Wichita, Kansas, announced on its Facebook page that its church had been vandalized. Images of the vandalism show a broken statue and window panes. The Kansas Catholic Conference, which shared pictures of the vandalism, added that the link to a “satanic website was scrawled on a wall.”

The Wichita Police Department announced the day after the attack that a suspect in connection with the vandalism had been taken into custody. The 23-year-old suspect, a male from Saline County, was charged with burglary, criminal damage to property and criminal desecration. 

When asked about the incident, President Donald Trump vowed that his administration would “take a look.”
