Key Points
- A 76-year-old nun thwarted an attempted robbery at a charity in Buffalo, New York.
- In the early hours of Jan. 14, two thieves used a ladder to climb onto the roof of a charity in Buffalo. Thieves targeted the Response to Love Center– a faith-based charity that assists the impoverished in Buffalo. The robbers allegedly wanted to steal copper pipes.
- Sister Mary Johnice Rzadkiewicz, the director of the center, woke up early to pray. She heard the commotion outside the charity and went to investigate.
- Sister Johnice told WKBW-TV, “So, I opened the door and saw a ladder — here’s a ladder over here, and I walked out, and I looked up, and said, ‘Get out of here. How dare you do this to God’s property — this is his mission!'”
- The elderly nun summoned all of her strength to yank the ladder off the building, leaving the crooks stranded on the roof.
