THE traditionalist Catholic chapel
funded by Mel Gibson cancelled services citing an invasion of privacy
after photos emerged of the actor with his young daughter at a church
event.
Candid shots of Gibson, 54, doting on Lucia, his 14-month-old
daughter with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, hit the internet
yesterday causing concern "about the invasion of privacy," a source
connected with the Holy Family Chapel in Agoura Hills, California, told
the celebrity website TMZ.
"He (Gibson) is not just concerned that
photos of his daughter were taken at the church, he is concerned for
the privacy of his parishioners," another source said.
Church members received an email today announcing, "There will be no Masses here at Holy Family Chapel until further notice."
Holy
Family is a private, independent traditionalist Catholic chapel located
behind a guarded gate.
It is not affiliated with the Roman Catholic
Archdiocese of Los Angeles but is supported by the AP Reilly Foundation,
Gibson's non-profit organisation.
