Unknown Perpetrators Vandalise Church and Steal 2000 Euros
On the 3. January, the parish priest, Don Gianluigi Ganabano, found out that thieves had broken into the Church of Santa Maria Immacolata the night before. Around two thousand euros were stolen from the church. The parish priest found the premises ransacked and called the police. The thieves forced open a side door and took possession of some boxes containing offerings.
"Fortunately, they only took a few boxes, I have not yet quantified, but according to an estimate of the carabinieri, it was about 2,000 euro," conveys Don Ganabano.
He recalls the vandals threw everything in the sacristy: candlesticks, tablecloths, chalices, pyxes, but they left everything there. "I've been a parish priest here for 16 years and it's the first time we've had a theft of this magnitude. I'm sorry because it's a nuisance".
