When our iconic church spire was repaired and restored this year, we kept a large section of the 60-year-old copper that was removed during the restoration work. What to do with it? Our Director of Music and Fine Arts, Sid Davis, had the inspired idea to have crosses made, each inlaid with a piece of this copper. Each handcrafted cross is numbered and created by St. Luke’s staff member, Nick Gonzalez, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Measuring 9 x 5 inches, the crosses are made of wood and inlaid with the original copper. They are suitable to be laid flat or hung by a small nail, flush against the wall.
Quantity will be limited. Nick is currently at work, making as many as our copper can yield. Your order will be confirmed upon receipt of your donation no later than Friday, November 19. We will organize one or two pickup dates in early December and will provide information on when and where!
