There was a really cool picture posted on FB that I thought we would share, we photoshopped out some of the background in the lower part, but it showed the Cross, the moon and the American Flag!!

It's been a while since we posted an update. The new higher Centennial Cross has been lit now for a while, we had a few issues with the lighting having a couple sections that were giving us some troubles, but now those issues have been repaired. The reflection plaza in Mt. Olivet Cemetery has been completed and the sign in the reflection plaza is awaiting electricty to light up the sign. The bench is placed and we encourage you to stop and reflect and pray. The Cross prayer is on the sign. The committee is working on updating the website and donor list and plan to have a dedication this fall. Thanks to all who contributed to this fundraising effort and while the capital campaign is complete and successful, there are ongoing maintenance and operational costs - so all donations are appreciated.
