A black cube with Satanic symbols and an offering bowl has been proposed for Belle Plaine's Veterans Memorial Park.
And the town's Catholics don't want it there.
Fr Brian Lynch, pastor of Our Lady of the Prairie parish, gathered for prayer in the park in June with more than 50 Catholics. Two days later, about 40 Catholics joined Fr Lynch as he testified against the proposed monument before the Belle Plaine City Council. Meanwhile, more than 30 Catholics, including members of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis' Catholic Watchmen initiative, attended Mass and prayed in Eucharistic Adoration at the parish.
