The tabernacle is made of steel, but has two bronze-colored doors, said the bishop. Bergie suspected that perhaps the thieves thought the tabernacle was made of gold, or perhaps had a more nefarious intent with stealing the hosts. “Who knows what goes through the minds of these people,” he said. A tabernacle full of conscrated Hosts was stolen from St. Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral in Ontario, Canada. Security footage shows two people, a man and a woman, breaking into the cathedral at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Sept. 8 - the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The tabernacle is not made of precious materials, but is made of steel, with two bronze-colored doors. Bishop Gerard Bergie of St. Catharines went on the radio pleading for the two thiefs to return it, saying: “The tabernacle can be replaced. It’s the contents, that is what is so precious to us. That’s what’s irreplaceable." Dr Taylor Marshall provides analysis.
