Restoring Sacred Heart Church cross(es) with Woodwork Mastery

Correction: Two weeks ago, on August 24th, 2024, an article by Chris Whelan titled "Crafting a Legacy: The Timeless Restoration Journey of Sacred Heart Church" detailed the stone masonry work being carried out by Paul Barrett and Dwayne Gambacorta at Sacred Heart Church in Upper Town, Paris, Ontario on Washington St.

In reality, Dwayne skillfully fashioned the replacement cross from white cedar wood with an Oak wood base, showcasing his expertise as a Carpenter. Paul and Dwayne are dedicated to replacing all five crosses, symbolizing the five wounds of Christ - his hands, feet, and side spear wound.
