A seminary in San Antonio, Texas, was reportedly vandalized Thursday night, residents of the seminary told the Daily Caller and Trinity University student newspaper The Tower.
Assumption Seminary’s glass doors were struck and damaged and a crucifix on the property was desecrated, with a Spurs jersey wrapped around Jesus’s head and Christ’s feet destroyed, a resident told the Caller and The Tower.
“Last night at some point between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. I was sitting in my room working on Latin homework and I heard commotion in the hallway,” Alexander Jacobs, an aspirant who lives in the Discernment House of the seminary, told the Caller. “I asked what’s going on, and they said the building had been attacked.”
“We went downstairs and when I saw the damage to the doors it looked like gunshots at first glance, but we found it was some sort of hammer or weapon used to destroy the doors,” Jacobs said.
A crucifix located on a central part of the property by the main chapel where the seminarians have Mass and pray was also vandalized.
“That’s the most important crucifix on the ground,” Jacobs said. “They smashed Jesus’s feet so his feet are broken. His head was covered with a black Spurs jersey they draped over his head.”
The vandalism occurred a night before Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks called on the Department of Justice to investigate “increases in Catholic hate crimes and vandalism” in the United States.
