Holy Hour Sermons Refer to Sacrilege at Holy Name Church
No progress by River police in tracing the alleged theft of the church tabernacle from Holy Name Church last Friday night. A large congregation prayed at a holy hour Sunday and sermons in the masses cited the sacrilege. Officials say the act may have been by a slightly demented person with a religious fixation, treated as insanity in institutions per historical records.
