An 'irreplaceable' tabernacle, which dates back to the 1890s, was stolen from a church in Park Slope, the Diocese of Brooklyn says.
A suspect purportedly broke into St. Augustine Catholic Church, cut through metal casing and took the Tabernacle from the alter.Angels next to it were"decapitated and destroyed" and the Eucharist inside was"thrown all over the alter," the Diocese said.
Father Frank Tumino, pastor of St. Augustine, discovered the damage on Saturday, May 28, but officials believe the suspected burglary happened the day before. "This is devastating," Tumino said."To know that a burglar entered the most sacred space of our beautiful Church and took great pains to cut into a security system is a heinous act of disrespect.""This holy sacramental receptacle is irreplaceable due to its historical and artistic value," the Diocese said.
