Hamilton church broken into, arsonist attempts to burn entire building to the ground
Reportedly, the city's arson unit is investigating, and St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Parish will be closed with its masses cancelled.

Early in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 1, Hamilton firefighters responded to a scene at the King Street East parish following reports of a church filled with smoke and fires blazing within.
According to The Hamilton Spectator, police Constable Krista-Lee Ernst stated that crews swiftly extinguished the fire and confirmed there were no injuries.
In a Facebook post later on the same day, the church reported that no holy items were damaged and informed patrons that their Christmas Bazaar is not cancelled.
They encouraged supporters to join them at the Baptist School gym on November 3 and 4.
As of the time of publishing, neither the Hamilton police nor St. John the Baptist Church has responded to Rebel News for comment.
Canadian Muslims, Arabs, and Palestinians are worried about their loved ones, their rights, and their safety. When I met with @AmiraElghawaby yesterday, we spoke about these fears and the work we must continue to do together to combat Islamophobia and all forms of hatred. pic.twitter.com/vR3QByEkpd

This comes days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement denouncing "Islamophobia" in response to the backlash following the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have taken to the streets in cities across Canada to express support for the terrorist organization responsible for the October 7 attack, which resulted in over 1,400 Israeli casualties and over 8,000 people from Gaza.
Rebel News has extensively covered the increasing incidents of church arsons and vandalism that persist nationwide. These actions have been fuelled by deceptive and slanderous media reports about 'mass graves' allegedly found near residential schools, with the initial allegation stemming from Kamloops, British Columbia in 2021.
Drea Humphrey, Rebel News' B.C. Bureau Chief, released an investigative documentary aiming to uncover the truth that has misled Canadians. The documentary exposes what truly lies beneath the soil at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
During the COVID lockdowns, churches were once again scapegoated and subjected to tyrannical measures that prevented pastors from organizing their church services. They were subjected to cruel and unusual punishments, such as having their buildings locked by the government and being thrown in jail for months.
Chief Reporter Sheila Gunn Reid, along with Chief Documentarian Kian Simone, delved deeply into the challenges faced by Christian communities in Trudeau's Canada, featuring passionate interviews and immersive storytelling.
