Officers said Sister Agnes Pennino was seen taking the items from the Surplus Outlet near Berwick.
Police determined the woman captured on surveillance video was the nun who lived about 20 miles away at a convent in Danville.
Officials from Saints Cyril and Methodius Convent declined to comment.
Shoplifting is a summary offence, meaning the nun will probably be fined if she is convicted.
Store manager Zane Kishbach said he "couldn't believe it that a nun would actually do something like that".
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
