Banners slashed at Auckland cathedral

Friday, April 1st, 2016

Large promotional banners on walls outside the presbytery of St Patrick’s Cathedral in Auckland were slashed last week.

This aimed to raise at least $3 million.

As part of the appeal, the outside walls were covered with promotional banners.

However they have been victim to random attacks.
