A disturbing incident was reported early this morning from Dhaka, Bangladesh. At approximately 3:00 a.m. on April 28, 2026, the residence of Rev. Fr. Subas Gomes, located at Nayanagar within the Eugène de Mazenod Catholic Church in Baridhara, was broken into and vandalized.
According to initial reports, the perpetrators gained entry through an office window. Church funds, along with the priest’s passport, national identification card, and other valuable items, were stolen during the incident.
Fr. Gomes was not harmed and is safe, but the incident has deeply unsettled the local faith community. We are hopeful that law enforcing authorities are expected to investigate the matter further.
Members of the community are requesting prayers and support for Fr. Gomes and all those affected during this troubling time.
