St. Joseph's Oratory stabbing: 'People will come to pray for Father Grou'
A suspect is to be arraigned in court on Saturday, the day after the rector at St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal was stabbed as he said mass in the church.
Police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils said the 26-year-old suspect is known to police. He was questioned and is to be arraigned by videoconference in the Court of Quebec in Montreal on Saturday, the police announced on Friday afternoon. They did not release the name of the suspect because he wasn’t yet charged.
Grou was released from the hospital later Friday. He told CTV News he would go home to rest and return to work after he has recuperated, but “my health is fine.” He also thanked all those who helped after the altercation, and those who expressed concern and prayed for him. The Archbishop of Montreal, Christian Lépine, issued a statement on the website of the Catholic Archdiocese of Montreal offering support to Grou and thanks to those who assisted him.
The diocese, meanwhile, said it wouldn’t comment on whether any security measures are being taken to protect churches in the city in the wake of the attack.
