The Crucifix

Following the donation of a Monstrance and two chalices, another donation arrived for the historic church this week in the form of a beautifully crafted crucifix which will be placed in the alcove above the tabernacle. I took some photos of this crucifix at the new church, before it takes its permanent place in the historic church sometime next week after I get a platform to elevate it a little higher. The cross is made of wood and was made in Italy.

Another appeal has been made to buy a few new chasubles or priest’s vestments, both for the new church and the historic church. We are planning to get the four colors for each church, and parishioners have been very generous with their donations, in fact 6 of them have already been donated.
