South Euclid Police continue investigation
(South Euclid) - Three statues on the campus of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish (formerly St. Gregory the Great) on South Green Road in South Euclid were desecrated this past weekend when they were toppled from their pedestals. Two were more than five feet in size, a third about three feet tall.
South Euclid Police are seeking assistance in locating the vandals. The statues have now been placed in temporary storage until repairs can be made. Two of the larger statues of St. Anthony and the Blessed Virgin Mary would have required a considerable effort to dislodge from their pedestals. The statue of the Virgin Mary weighs more than 1,000 pounds.
Anyone with information leading to those responsible, please call the South Euclid Police Department at 216-381-1234.
Father Dave Ireland, Pastor of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish can be reached at 216-382-7601.
