It may have its head back, but the statue of St. Volodymyr at the Ukrainian Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral of Sts. Vladimir and Olga is still missing its staff, and police are asking for help finding it.
The statue was found headless last Tuesday. The head was left at the front door of the cathedral, wrapped in a garbage bag, around noon Saturday.
