Parish representatives did not immediately return a message left at the church on Tuesday. The attorney representing Lewis did not return a call for comment. She also borrowed credit cards issued to four other church employees and made unauthorized payments, the affidavit said.The detective calculated the total loss to the parish at just over $124,500, which included just over $42,400 in missing cash bank deposits and nearly $32,000 in missing school cash deposits, according to the affidavit. The unathorized credit card purchases totaled just over $50,100, it said.
