The historical Polish Church building near Redberry Lake burned down Thursday afternoon.

Premier Scott Moe issued a statement Friday, “I am saddened and deeply concerned by the destruction of the Polish Roman Catholic church near Redberry Lake, a church in my home constituency that has been maintained by generations of volunteers.” Moe says the cause of the fire remains under investigation but the burning of the church is suspicious in the midst of other arson attacks on churches across Canada.

The century old church is an hour northwest of Saskatoon. Premier Moe also said that acts of division do nothing to further efforts to build hope for the future and the individuals responsible for such destructive and hate-driven acts must be held accountable.
