A church servant found in the Christ the King Church in Saal on the Danube 160,000 euros in 500-euro notes. The envelope with the cash was already on Pentecost Sunday in May 2018 under the Altarkreuz. But only now the case became public: Now the Diocese of Regensburg has confirmed that the sum has been examined by the Episcopal Chamber of Finance and is now to benefit several projects.
"I've seen a lot of money and I'm scared," said the church servant of the "Central Bavarian newspaper", which reported on the case. She then went with the cash into the sacristy, where the pastor prepared for the service. He too had been speechless for a while.
"Something like that does not happen often," said Bishop Clemens Neck about the amount of cash. The donor has also noted who should benefit from the donation: "For Africa" was written on the cover.
