Thieves Loot St Raphael's Cathedral in Dubuque
Thieves entered Saint Raphael's Cathedral on Tuesday night and carried away the contents of the St Vincent de Paul box and the St Anthony's bread box. Entry was through a rear window and they forced the boxes with a chisel, then left through the church front. No clues or suspects. The act occurred around midnight, with prior failed attempt about a month earlier. The janitor had emptied the votive candelabrum, so only two boxes yielded missing funds.
