Unfortunately, there was a break-in at the Presbytery this week, at some time between 1pm on Wednesday and 10am on Thursday, when the house was not occupied. The back door was forced open and the lock broken. The CCTV system taken from the house, along with some jewellery, money, and a few other items. The worst damage was done to the door itself.
