SASKATOON — The front of a Saskatoon cathedral was tagged with graffiti following the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at a former residential school site in Saskatchewan. 

Red hand prints and the words “we were children” were painted on the doors of the St. Paul Co-Cathedral in the city’s downtown. 

Police say a demonstration took place outside the church on Thursday and officers spoke with church leaders and demonstrators. 

Police say it is believed two individuals were involved.

The graffiti has been cleaned up and no charges have been laid.
