Saint Of Lost Items Is Stolen In Green Bay

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) ― A statue taken from a secluded limestone chapel at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has caretakers praying for their lost St. Anthony.

Joan Jadin's family takes care of the chapel. She says the theft is ironic because St. Anthony is the Catholic patron saint of lost items -- the saint someone prays to if they've lost something.

Campus police said they could see where something heavy had been dragged on the path from LeMieux Chapel in the Cofrin Memorial Arboretum. The theft was discovered Sunday.

Jadin calls it "a sad day." She says "it's always been a place of comfort."
