The proceeds from the sale of these items will help the Catholic Church to maintain a presence in the land where Jesus was born, lived, preached the Good News and first established His Kingdom. These beautiful carvings make great sacramental gifts that have an added special significance given where and why they were made by hand with innate skill and love. The carvings will be available following all Masses both on Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17. All are welcome to come to the Church to see these beautiful wood carvings which depict Crosses, the Last Supper tableau and various other themes of religious significance.
