Pittsburgh Roman Catholic Bishop David Zubik will bless a Virgin Mary statue that's been restored after being vandalized at a Mount Lebanon church.
Vandals entered St. Bernard Church in Mount Lebanon on June 6 and knocked the 5-foot-tall statue over, breaking its left arm and causing other damage. They also painted "666" in orange on its forehead and tore apart and scattered rosary beads about the grotto.
Pastor Dave Bonnar said it would have been cheaper to replace the statue after it had been damaged, but the decision was made to restore the original.

Hopefully, the church installed a camera/dvr system to be viewed only in the event of future vandalism.
I can't see the generous parishioners paying $9000 a pop every time the vandals perform their handiwork.
