As some of you may be aware in the early hours of last Thursday morning the statue of Our Lady and large Crucifix were stolen from outside St Marks church. This is most upsetting and sadly the second such theft in our deanery,with a similar incident taking place the previous week at St Luke’s
While the police have of course been informed we would ask anyone with any information to please come forward. And of course we urge the perpetrators to do the same.
