(AP) Kenner Police say burglars took a priest's chalice from a Catholic church, along with money in an offering box. The silver-plated chalice was a gift to the Rev. Luis Rodriguez, pastor of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church, from his family when he was ordained in 2001. Theft occurred between Friday at 5 p.m., when the building was locked, and Saturday at 4 p.m. Police say the burglars ruined a safe trying to get into it but didn't take it. Another safe, containing the chalice, was removed from the Reconciliation Room. Church officials say the chalice is 6 3/4 inches tall, and holds 18 ounces. The 12 apostles encircle the cup and the four evangelists are around the base. ___ Information from: The Times-Picayune, <http://www.timespicayune.com>http://www.timespicayune.com <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}><<http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Half the Kingdom!<*}}}>< Prayer for Unborn Life: O GOD OF LIFE AND LOVE, You have given us the gift to participate with You to bring new life into the world. But, all too often, the mother's womb, which should be a nursery of life, becomes instead a place of it's destruction. Help us to remove this evil and ensure respect for all life made in Your image and likeness, called to fulfill its promise on this earth, and destined to find a home with you for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Our God, Our Savior, and Our ALL. Amen. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Please note that I do not send or open attachments sent to this list.
