MUMBAI, India – A priest in Singapore was stabbed by a knife-wielding man during Mass on Saturday evening.
Father Christopher Lee, 57, is the parish priest of St Joseph’s Church, and is in stable condition. The 37-year-old attacker was restrained by parishioners and later arrested.
“This incident has not only grievously injured a religious leader in a place of worship, but has sown fear in the community,” said Cardinal William Goh, the Archbishop of Singapore.
Pope Francis visited Singapore during his Asian pastoral trip in September.
