DETROIT (WWJ)  -- Another Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Detroit has been robbed. 

Police said that this time, the intruders stole collection money from St. John Neumann Church, 44800 Warren Road, in Canton. 

Pastor George Williams estimates that $5,000 to $8,000 in cash was taken from the office safe. 

According to police, the break-in occurred sometime after 9 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 14, and was discovered at 7:30 the next morning by the business manager.  Parishioners arriving for the weekday morning Mass were surprised by the site of police cars and investigators at the church. 

In addition to punching a hole into the safe, the thieves also ransacked several administrative offices.  One door and two interior door windows were broken.

Last week, thieves broke in to Most Holy Trinity Church in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood.  Numerous sacred items were taken, including the tabernacle, which contained consecrated bread/hosts, and a figurine of the body of Jesus was removed from a large cross.  Chalices were taken from a sacristy safe and an 1800s-era brass chandelier was ripped from the ceiling.

Anyone with any information about the break-in is asked to contact Sgt. Rick Pomorski of the Canton Police Department at (734) 394-5423 or St. John Neumann Parish at (734) 455-5910.
