The Church of England's most senior bishop has written a letter of support, to the parish in Leyland.
It's after vandalism at St James's Church last weekend.
Graffiti had to be hidden with plants before a wedding on Saturday.
The Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell says he is ‘holding them in his prayers’ at this difficult time. In his letter to the parish, sent to Vicar, Rev. Marc Wolverson, the Archbishop says: “For this precious holy ground to be so appallingly desecrated is deeply shocking.
“Easter should be a time of celebration and joy. It saddens me greatly that this Easter your own celebrations may feel a little muted. Yet, of course, the story of Easter is the story of God’s triumph over sin and darkness.
“I hope it is a small comfort to know that, alongside many others, I am holding you and your church in my prayers this Easter. I am praying that despite the horrors of Good Friday, your faith in the resurrection might be strengthened and that you will all experience anew the power of the Lord at work in your lives.”
Police are calling it a 'disgraceful act' and are yet to make any arrests.
