Vandals broke into a church in the Baltimore archdiocese on March 26, stealing several items and removing the tabernacle, containing the Blessed Sacrament.

The tabernacle at St. John the Evangelist church was bolted onto a base, so the unknown criminals took special efforts to remove it. A processional cross and some candlesticks were also taken.

Church officials have issued a plea for the return of the tabernacle.
