The gunman opened fire Friday at a church in Manampitiya, 160 kilometres (100 miles) northeast of the capital Colombo, a police statement said.
“Initial investigations suggest that the suspect had targeted the church due to a personal enmity with the pastor,“ the statement said.
Suicide bombers in 2019 killed 279 people, including 45 foreigners, at three churches and three hotels.
The Catholic Church will commemorate the victims on Monday, by declaring them “Heroes of the Faith”.
The Church has accused successive governments of protecting those behind the attack and several high-level investigations have identified links between military intelligence units and the bombers.
