The gold pectoral cross was found Thursday. Diocese spokesman JD Flynn wouldn’t say exactly where the cross was recovered, citing the police investigation and a desire for the privacy of those involved. He says the gold pectoral cross is irreplaceable because it was a gift from Pope Benedict XVI. It’s valued at about $1,000.
It was reported stolen on Oct. 10. Police say a house alarm was tripped, a door had pry marks and a window was broken. Only the cross was taken. The bishop wasn’t home at the time.
No arrests have been reported.
