As you know, the crucifix is the central symbol of our Christian faith, representing the sacrifice Christ made for us all on the cross. We place it at the center of our lives as well, returning to it in our prayer and worship as we thank Christ for the gift of His life and do our best to follow the path of grace He laid for us.
With such significance, we believe that the crucifix must also be a central symbol in our church. That is why we are pleased to announce our Holy Family Crucifix Project. Through the generosity of our benefactors, Holy Family Church will receive a new crucifix, designed to fit harmoniously within the church’s architecture. Constructed from the finest carved wood available, the crucifix will be 13 feet tall by 9 feet wide and suspended over the altar, visible to all entering the church.
With more than 500 years of experience designing and crafting religious art, ALBL Oberaumergau, based in Germany, has been selected to create our crucifix. We anticipate that the project will be completed around Easter 2025, and hope to have it installed following Holy Week.
t is with much gratitude we share that the cost of this project as it stands has already been paid for through the restricted donations of parishioners. If you are interested to contributing to capital improvement projects like this at Holy Family, we welcome you to do so, and as always are most appreciative. Simply note that your donation is for Capital Improvements, and we will direct it towards those projects.
We look forward to sharing updates with you as they come available, and to seeing this beautiful crucifix above our altar. It is our belief that it will enhance the spiritual environment of the church for all who attend, and offer a focal point of worship and reflection near the altar of sacrifice, where we remember the gift Christ so selflessly gave us in the Eucharist.
