Church Cancels Festival Because Of “Disturbing Message”

August 14, 2019 3:28 am

An Allegheny County church has canceled its annual festival because of a disturbing message. According to a news release from the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh, Our Lady of Grace parish in Scott Township received a handwritten letter in late July that read, in part: “Cancel August 14-17 Festival Security Problem is Huge.” Tuesday, the festival for the upcoming week was canceled, even though there was no direct threat. With recent mass shootings, organizers did not want to take the risk. The sender still hasn’t been identified.
