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.
A spokesperson from the Communications Office of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Singapore said Lee is “well-loved by the parishioners and known for being kind and compassionate to everyone”.
“He is a dedicated pastor to his flock, and an integral part of the parish community. He also serves as a member of the Archdiocesan Liturgy Commission and is school chaplain for De La Salle School,” the spokesperson told Crux.
