When I arrived, around 8:25 a.m., I saw the police outside the church and gαylynn Huffman sobbing on the sidewalk. I peeked inside the church and saw the hallway with the smashed statues (a particularly poignant image), the broken glass of the door, the disorder everywhere. Knowing I could not enter while the police were investigating the scene, I looked at the tabernacle and saw that the door was still closed  – in fact, the sanctuary seemed to be untouched. The missal was still on the altar, the candles and crucifix were all in the right position, and the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes was the only one left intact in the church.

 I cancelled the 9 a.m. Mass and asked people to either return for the 11 a.m. or try the Masses at Saints Peter and Paul Parish or St. Francis Xavier Parish. I waited outside with the people until the police were finished, around 9:45 a.m. A distribution chalice was found in the lawn; one of the parishioners started driving around the neighborhood and found one of the church's fire extinguishers in the lawn of a house a couple blocks away.

 When I entered the church, I began to make a more thorough check. The holy water fonts were filled with beer, which was also over the floor outside the sacristy where the computer that runs the bells was smashed on the floor. The sacristy was missing the Evangeliarium, which I later found on the steps going up to the loft. Two more communion chalices were unaccounted for. The whole sacristy, including all the books, vessels, and vestments, was covered in a thick powder, which I surmise to be the contents of a fire extinguisher. This powder was also in hallway and, less heavily, in the nave of the church. Glass things from the sacristy, including the cruets, were smashed on the floor. The tabernacle key was not in its place in the sacristy, nor was it amid the broken glass and plaster elsewhere in the church. All the wine was gone.

The sanctuary itself was relatively unaffected, just dusty from the fire extinguisher and with broken glass that had ricocheted from elsewhere. The tabernacle, however, had been moved 1.5 inches from its position of the night before.

 Elsewhere in the church, glass votive candles had been smashed and the cover to the baptismal font thrown on the grown and stomped on.

 The hall looked unaffected. The kitchen, however, was a noxious disaster of all the (many) contents of the refrigerator thrown into a slurry on the floor.
