The church community is working to rebuild both physically and spiritually, after the vandalism that took place Thursday night at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Youngstown.

"Shock, I think, is still the best word to use," Monsignor Michael Cariglio said after 16 sacred statues were destroyed at the church. 

"Me as a pastor and the feeling of the parishioners, you know, our garden of prayer, contemplation, reflection, our grounds that we even have Italian festivals on," Cariglio said, "It's just invaded you know...We've gotta get over that."

20-year-old Caleb VanCampen was arraigned in Youngstown Municipal Court Monday and faces a felony after he was caught on camera breaking down the statues.

According to court records, VanCampen is homeless and from Kentucky, but now stays in East Palestine.

Cariglio said VanCampen's family reached out to him.

"His family is concerned,"  he said, "They've actually called me personally. They called and they expressed their deep regret of what happened, they would never want something like this to happen from his own son and grandson...A heartbreak for everybody... we pray for him."

Cariglio said the damage is valued at about $100,000, but after meeting with the insurance company, he expects all statues will be back standing strong by the end of this summer.

VanCampen now has a bond set for $10,000 and his next court date is March 8.
