Your local church may still be fine. Remember, they aren't doctors and they are being lied to about the boosters. They believe they are helping keep their parishioners safe. So, I suggest you attempt to provide them with education - informed consent, if you will.
The new boosters:
Are labeled to contain mRNA for the spike proteins of the original Wuhan strain and the currently circulating BA.4/5 strains.
The evidence Pfizer, Moderna, and FDA have presented is from clinical trials conducted on a combination of the Wuhan strain and Omicron BA.1. Note that these are not the same as Omicron BA.4/5, but are being passed off as if they were.
Moderna's data on BA.1 was published 2 weeks after the FDA EUA was granted. (Link to the NEJM article here). Pfizer's data remains available only via the press release on its corporate website. Those data show the vaccines to be effective in generating neutralizing antibodies (measured as GMT) and safe. They detected no myocarditis or other serious adverse effects in a 1 month follow-up period, and had a similar level of grade 3 (bad enough so you'll miss work, but not bad enough to put you in the hospital) common side effects.
Both Pfizer and Moderna are conducting phase 3 clinical trials on the BA.4/5 version right now. Results are not expected until November.
170 million doses were purchased by the Biden regime and manufactured prior to the FDA granting the EUA. The EUA was granted 2 months prior to the completion of the relevant clinical trial.
The only actual efficacy data we have on the BA.4/5 version does indeed come from 8 mice. They generated neutralizing antibodies. Nothing has been proven in humans yet.
Safety of this BA.4/5 variant is inferred based on the tests on BA.1 and the original vaccines, but not yet proven.
FDA argues that this is the same process we use for the annual flu shot. Though, obviously flu is not COVID, and these vaccines are very different from flu shots which have been safe to take for 20 years.
Further, FDA cited a computer model that projected they could save 20% of projected lives by getting the vaccine out 2 months earlier. I haven't seen the model or the inputs, but that seems grossly optimistic given the recent data on rates of uptake of booster doses.
Explain to the priest that these vaccines are untested in humans. FDA is trying to pass off data on a different vaccine as evidence regarding this vaccine. None of the data is published in peer-reviewed journals, except the irrelevant data from Moderna 2 weeks after approval. The vaccines themselves were manufactured prior to the start of testing. The EUA was granted prior to having results from clinical tests. It is highly unlikely they would ever allow data to come out showing the drug is not safe after 170 million doses have already been given. Thus, the results of the clinical trials cannot be trusted. Those conducting the tests have too strong a motive to say they're safe and effective.
You may enjoy this series. Not sure if you're familiar with the SSPX but they seem to be on the money especially in their 'crisis is the church' series:
The church needs the same kind of cleansing the US gov is in the middle of. I am praying that draining the swamp includes all the churches too

I hope Vigano joins forces with the SSPX it seems like the two would be great together...
