WAPAKONETA — The former director of education at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Minster pleaded guilty Tuesday to two felony theft charges.
Jane Boeke, 54, will face up to three years in prison when she is sentenced on the two counts that each are fourth-degree felonies. A sentencing date has not been set but Judge Frederick Pepple said it likely will be in the next two months.
Boeke agreed to pay $190,000 restitution to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. The amount only covers the thefts, not any cost of the investigation by the Archdiocese or police agencies. The parish in Minster and the archdiocese agreed to the amount, Auglaize County Prosecutor Ed Pierce said.
Boeke stole the money by using two separate credit cards, a VISA and a Sam’s Club card, to make purchases from 2001 to 2013. She was issued the cards but only was allowed to make purchases for the parish, Pierce said.
