Series of Desecration and Thefts at Churches
Five French churches were the victims of theft, vandalism and desecration within three days at the hands of unknown perpetrators.
In the church of Saint-Maurice of the parish of Neuville-les-Dames, an act of desecration and theft took place: The unknown perpetrators vandalised and broke the tabernacle and stole the ciborium. On the same day, in the parish of Ambronay, a ciborium was stolen from Notre Dame church. In Vonna, a thief stole two chalices from St. Martin Church. In Jujurieux Pont d'Ain, parishioners discovered that a ciborium from Saint-Etienne church was stolen. Another incident took place in Montluel, where the local priest discovered that the ciborium and the hosts of Notre-Dame-des-Marais were stolen.
These incidents came after a series of other thefts, desecration and degradation that had occurred in recent months in many churches in France. Vandalism occurred in the churches of Seyssel, of Saint-Jean-de-Niost, of Sainte-Julie, of Saint-Etienne-du-Bois, and of Saint-Maurice-de-Beynost, amongst others.
