<P> </P>
<P>In a shady grotto filled with plants, lilacs and daffodils,
parishioners at All Saints Catholic Church would sometimes stop to pray
and reflect before an Our Lady of Lourdes statue.</P>
<P>It was a tranquil scene — until Palm Sunday when the statue was
knocked down and broken. Two replacement statues, both of Our Lady of
Guadalupe, have since been defaced or destroyed.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The latest incident happened outside the church on East 10th in the
Heights late Friday or early Saturday.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>A spray-painted message left on a church sidewalk in March during the
second incident — "You have been warned. Don't worship idols." — has
parish officials worried that they are being subjected to anti-Catholic
hate crimes, not mere vandalism.</P></DIV>
