Thief targets North Dallas church

DALLAS � Father Gregory Hohnholt was parked in a "reserved for clergy" spot at Holy Trinity Church in North Dallas Thursday when someone broke into his car.

The thief stole two blessing crosses, a communion kit, a prayer book and a robe from the Greek Orthodox clergyman.

"It would be of very little value for anyone outside of the faith, but�obviously for us�it had extreme value," Father Hohnholt said.

The communion kit is used to take to members of the congregation who are ill and can't attend church.

Father Hohnholt said he hopes it will be returned.
