Father Joseph Cao, assisted by Deacon Clarence McDavid, blesses the parts of the church affected by an Aug. 30 break-in, during a Mass of reparation at Curé d'Ars Catholic Church in Denver, Colo., Sept. 1, 2021.

“My heart just sank. I felt so helpless,” Father Cao said. “We pray for a safe return of the Eucharist.”
