Sacred objects stolen from Bytom-Szombierki church
On the night of Monday 29 to Tuesday 30 April, the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Bytom-Szombierki was broken into. Thieves smashed the tabernacle, stole three tins containing the consecrated hosts and the reliquary of St Faustina, which was placed under the image of the Merciful Jesus. Scattered hosts were found in the choir and outside by the missionary cross.
A screen for displaying hymns was also unscrewed and stolen. The case is being investigated by the police.
"We need to pray for the conversion of hearts as this is a profanation of the Blessed Sacrament. We hope that the perpetrators will be found and justly punished by the court," said Father Pastor Antoni Kopiec.
