– we are privileged to have had a visit from the Thanking Cross, which arrived from Westminster Cathedral to us on Thursday 11th April until Palm Sunday 14th April.
This cross has been blessed by Popes John Paul II & Benedict XVI and the present Pope Francis.
It started its journey in Lvov in the Ukraine in 2004 and has visited many cities including Kiev, Warsaw, Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, Helsinki, Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Hanover, Berlin and it is intended that it will visit many more on its journey round the world.
