A Derry priest has praised local parishioners who removed offensive anti-clerical graffiti daubed on a church at the weekend.
The word ‘Paedos’ – with an arrow pointing towards the front door entrance – was painted in large black lettering on the front of St Joseph’s in Galliagh some time late on Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
Rev. Michael McCaughey, parish priest of the Three Patrons parish – which includes Galliagh – says both clergy and parishioners were “shocked and distressed” to discover the graffiti.
