GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Mary Pepin was convicted Friday of burglary of a De Pere church on Christmas Day, 2022. Charges related to an incident at another Brown County church were dismissed. And, the action comes after a conviction for an attempted theft at an Appleton church.
Pepin, 68, pleaded no contest Friday to one count of burglary for the incident at Our Lady of Lourdes Church. Sentencing is scheduled for March 21. A misdemeanor theft charge for the incident was dismissed.
According to the criminal complaint, police responded to Our Lady of Lourdes Church in De Pere at about 5 p.m. Christmas Day 2022. Footprints were found, but no one was found in the building. Security video showed images of the same woman believed to be responsible for trespassing incidents on several other dates.
Prosecutors also dropped an “entry into a building” count related to an incident at St. Philip the Apostle Church in Green Bay on Nov. 12, 2022.
Earlier this month, Pepin was convicted of attempted theft for a February 2023 incident at St. Pius X Church in Appleton. She was placed on probation for three years in that case.
