The Saint Patrick's Day Four
'''The Saint Patrick's Day Four
(also, The Saint Patrick's Four
, or SP4''') are four American
peace activists of
Irish Catholic heritage who poured their own blood on the walls, posters, windows, and a US flag at a military recruiting center to protest the United States' impending invasion of Iraq. Peter De Mott, Daniel Burns, Teresa Grady, and
Clare Grady each were members of the ''Ithaca
Catholic Worker'' community, which teaches that Christians should practice
non-violence and devote their lives to service of others. They each served between four and six months in federal prison for their action on
Saint Patrick's Day, March 17, 2003, in
Lansing, New York, near
Ithaca where they reside.
