On Friday 24 January, thieves raided the Holy Cross Church in Lana taking several sacred objects from the sacristy. The parish estimates the damage to be several thousand Euros.

"The thieves stole several gold-plated plates and bowls, a chalice, 2 vessels for consecrated oil with a tray, a water jug and a valuable cross", says dean P. Peter Unterhofer (Stol.It)
