THE PILGRIMAGE OF HOPE LIFTS UP ST WILFRID’S CENTRE’S CROSS

In the middle of November 2024, St Wilfrid’s Centre were asked if they could make a large wooden cross for the procession marking the start of the Jubilee Year. 

Although most organisations might have been very concerned by the timescale and size of the project, St Wilfrid’s Centre, as always, rose to the challenge and set about designing the cross.

The workshop team and clients put aside the existing orders for mediboxes. These are made at St Wilfrid’s Centre and distributed around the country to help the work of drug support organisations.

They then began constructing and sanding the cross.

Staff and clients were very proud of what they had achieved.
