The Great Saint Robbery

1986: “Jack Flanigan, right, on Feb. 16 helped fellow-Hibernians hijack the statue of St. Patrick belonging to Holy Cross/Immaculata church in Mt. Adams. The Irish-Americans in Cincinnati have staged the heist for more than 15 years to get publicity for the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in Cincinnati.” (The Catholic Telegraph, February 21, 1986)
