Diocese of Little Rock Jubilee Cross at St Peter's - September 10-17

September 10-17: St Peter the Fisherman, Mountain Home;
September 17-24; Mary Mother of God, Harrison.
Other dates for September and October will be announced at a later date.
This special cross was created to celebrate Jubilee Year 2025. The relic of the true cross contained in this three-foot wooden cross came form the archives of the Diocese of Little Rock. The cross is available for veneration by the faithful throughout the year. "It is Bishop Taylor's desire for the jubilee cross to travel to the designated jubilee churches and other parishes that wish to host it," explained Father Juan Guido, the diocese's jubilee year coordinator. When the cross isn't traveling to other locations, it is displayed by the altar at the Cathedral of St Andrew in Little Rock.
