A theft took place at the Hospital Virgen del Puerto in Plasencia in early December 2025, when several consecrated hosts were reported missing from the chapel’s tabernacle.
The Obispado de Plasencia filed a formal complaint with the Policía Nacional, which opened an investigation into the disappearance. For Catholic believers these kind of thefts of sacred hosts is one of the most severe forms of desecration and requires a mass of reparation.
