As there has been an increase in violence committed against parishes throughout Indonesia, Church officials in the country have urged Catholics to be vigilant, especially during Holy Week.
"We call on each parish and mission station to stay alert ahead of the observance of Holy Week and Easter. This is very important," Fr. Felix Atmojo, vicar general of the Archdiocese of Palembang, March 13.
"We don't want the church attack to reoccur," he added, according to UCA News.
His warning came after a church in the Palembang archdiocese was damaged earlier this month; two more attacks on Christians had occurred the preceding month.
