Hammes Bond Lowered
She’s accused of stealing more than 100-thousand dollars from the Catholic
Church…but her bond has been lowered to around 20-thousand.
Rose Hammes originally was booked in a Kansas jail on 50-thousand dollars bond last week. Hammes is a La Crosse native who used to work for Catholic diocese offices here and in Winona. She was a staffer for the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas until last April, when the church discovered it was missing money. The La Crosse D-A’s office says it has had no reports of financial problems in the La Crosse diocese during the time Hammes worked there.
