“Finishing touches are being placed on the new St. Paul's Holy Cross Church.  .  . The edifice is one of the finest in Northern Kentucky, costing in the neighborhood of $45,000.  Two of the beautiful electric crosses, patented by Father Tappert, have been placed upon the spires.” - Kentucky Post, April 8, 1908.
