Once again during Lent, the parishioners of St. Paul are encouraged to "nail" any burden, problem, illness or struggle in your faith life to the wooden cross that is on display in the Narthex
Our pastor, the Rev. Fr. Ralph Thomas, says:
“Our hope is that by bringing our tribulations to Our Lord, He will bring about a transformation in our lives so that something good will result from our suffering.”
After Good Friday the cross with petitions nailed to it is usually brought in procession to the side of the altar. The papers nailed to the cross are then removed and burned.
