Nun Facing Church Theft Charge



HOLLEY, N.Y. (AP/WBEN) - Authorities say a nun faces grand larceny charges after more than $100,000 was stolen from two churches where she worked.

Orleans County District Attorney Joseph Cardone says Sister Mary Anne Rapp is scheduled to appear in Kendall Town Court on Monday night to answer to the charges.

Cardone says the money was stolen from Catholic churches in Holley and Kendall. No other details have been released.

The nun's attorney, James Harrington, says he couldn't comment on the case.

The attorney for the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo says Sister Mary Anne was placed on administrative leave more than a year ago after an audit conducted by the diocese turned up irregularities.
