THIEVES ransacked the St Cecilia Roman Catholic Church off Coconut Grove Avenue on Sunday night.

The church’s tabernacle was among the items stolen.

Robbers left mess strewn throughout the church after digging through draws and breaking the sanctuary’s glass door.

They tore donation boxes off the church’s walls and stole the money contained within.

The robbery reportedly took place during a more than three hour power outage in the area.

Monsignor Simeon Roberts said the church was unable to hold mass yesterday. Instead, a service was held to pray for the robbers.
