ARTESIA (CBSLA.com) — A beloved shrine at an Artesia church was vandalized with graffiti over the weekend.

Parishioners of Holy Family Catholic Church found the 7-foot tall white marble statue of Mary, Joseph and Jesus covered in black graffiti Sunday.

It was unclear if police had identified any suspects.
