Combining the Processional Cross, which bears the Corpus, with the Permanent, or Sanctuary Cross is becoming a more and more common practice in new Catholic Churches. In Rossford, the community and the Priest were very desirous of creating a Corpus carved in wood large enough to be visible in a large space and yet light enough to be manageable when carried in procession.

We achieved this goal by carving a one half life-sized Corpus, 32” in height, from Butternut and hollowing it out, thereby keeping the weight of the Processional Cross including the Corpus below ten pounds.
