On Saturday 18th August 2018 the Synod gathered together to hold a vigil for a very important occasion.
During this vigil, we the church celebrated the Transfiguration of our Lord and Saviour. This great feast celebrates the moment when He, Christ revealed His divine nature.
During this great Feast, Archbishop Raffaele consecrated a new blessing cross into which were placed the relics of the True Cross of our Lord and Saviour! The reason the Cross was consecrated was simply to set it aside to hold something so holy and precious to us the Church. The reason we hold the relics of the True Cross in such high esteem is that it is on this wood our Lord and Saviour hung ensuring our redemption.
