MEMORIALS
In our new Pastoral Center a crucifix will be placed in each room. The crucifix we chose was one created by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Missouri. The corpus of each is crafted in bone white and set against a dark oak cross. They have been graciously donated by a parishioner who wishes to remain anonymous.
