The president of Georgetown University says vandalism of the campus' main chapel forced Sunday morning
Masses to be moved to another location. Georgetown President John J. DeGioia (De-JOY'-Uh)
says Dahlgren Chapel of the Sacred Heart will be open in time for evening Masses. The university says Dahlgren has been the Jesuit university campus' main chapel since 1893. The cross that is suspended over the main altar is believed to have been constructed during the earliest days of the founding of Maryland as a Catholic colony.
The
university president says a preliminary investigation shows the primary
damage was to furniture and other fixtures and there was not any
desecration of religious symbols in the chapel. DeGioia is asking
students and staff to report any suspicious activity or signs
of vandalism.
