The crowd today demanded protection for the minority community in the small town of Sangla Hill, 80 kilometers (50 miles) west of Lahore, according to Agence France-Presse.
The crowd dispersed after Catholic Archbishop Lawrence Saldanha, 69, advised them not to retaliate.
A mob set ablaze three churches, a convent and a priest’s house in the Punjab province on Saturday. The archbishop said 1,500 people took part in the attack, which seemed organized.
