CWN Editor's Note: A person attempted to set fire to a parish in Kielce, a city of 190,000 in south-central Poland.
On the night of August 3-4, the person placed a burning package beneath the side door of St. Joseph the Worker Church. A nearby resident noticed the fire, and the flames were extinguished before damaging the interior of the church.
