Festal Red Frontal!

The new red frontal created and stitched by Father Ralph Carskadden for use on Pauline feasts (Conversion of St. Paul, January 25th, St. Peter and St. Paul, June 29th) and Pentecost Day, is made of dupioni silk with an ornamental band across the lower edge which incorporates fabrics from the Americas, Asia and Africa. As part of the design, gold kid leather letters spell "Jew Greek Slave Free Male Female All Are One in Christ." (View photograph of banner). Taken from St. Paul's letter to the Galatians (3:28), they reflect the diversity of the people who form our parish.
