Good Samaritan Helps Church Out After Vandalism

(CBS4) - A Good Samaritan has come to the rescue for a Catholic church in the Denver area.

In July someone stole the 5 foot statue outside the Saint Francis Assisi Parish. The church bought a $1,500 replacement but then that statue was vandalized.

An Adams County woman saw the story in the paper and decided to help. She just goes by Angie and has experience working with fiberglass. In her free time she has been piecing together the statue.

"Here was this horribly damaged statue, and I felt bad. So I thought 'Well, I can do that,'" she said.

Angie said there's a message she'd like to share in relation to her efforts.

"If you can help out, volunteer and help out. It's not harming anyone to help," she said.

The church now has a security system in place and plans to get surveillance cameras.
