HOLLEY, New York (AP) –
Authorities say a nun faces grand larceny charges after more than
$100,000 was stolen from two western New
York churches where she worked.
Orleans County District Attorney Joseph Cardone tells The Buffalo News that
Sister Mary Anne Rapp is scheduled to appear in Kendall Town Court on Monday night to
answer to the charges.
The newspaper reports that the money was stolen from Catholic churches in
Holley and Kendall, rural parishes between Buffalo
and Rochester.
No other details have been released.
The nun's attorney, James Harrington, told the newspaper he couldn't comment
on the case.
The attorney for the Roman 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.
