This was my Adoration Chapel. It's a 24/7 public chapel where the faithful can come anytime and sit with the Lord, worship Him in the Blessed Sacrament, and pray. I was there the night before this happened and am cut up that I was not there to stop this. I would have jumped on that grenade to shield Our Lord like the soldier I am. The joke is on the fool who destroyed the Blessed Sacrament, though. He has only cemented my determination to spend even more time every week adoring Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Thank you for commenting Jules. I’m sorry this happened to your church. I did hear that there was video surveillance of the attack. Is there anyway I can get a copy of that?

I don't have it, but there are still photos of the explosion online. You can probably get a copy of the film as a professional courtesy from the Mahanoy City Police department, because they already gave it to the local news station, WNEP. You could try asking them as well. You are, after all, media and a security professional.

I tried with the PD with no luck. I really thought they would’ve helped me out a little. I see what the news station put out.
