Sanctuary Crucifix
This crucifix is generating quite a bit of interest for its beauty and history. It's been moved from the east entrance to the sanctuary; a wonderful place to be viewed and appreciated! It shows how contributions can last more than a lifetime.
The German translates to "In memory of their Mother Anna by the Family of Albert Gundrum." Cemetery records show Anna M Gundrum died in1917; her husband Albert died in 1928. The couple had eleven children. Three parishioners are great-grandchildren. Maybe you know of others?
Most Recent Update
An altar stone has been placed in the new altar. Many aren’t familiar with what that is.
In the first few centuries of Christianity, it was illegal to celebrate Mass publicly in the Roman Empire. To avoid capture during periods of persecution, Christians went underground into the catacombs to celebrate Mass among the tombs of the dead, specifically over graves of martyrs.
In the 3rd century, the pope prescribed that Mass be celebrated on an altar or at least over a stone that had some burial remains of a martyr or saint. This evolved into the altar stone, intended to serve as the essential part of an altar for the celebration of Mass in the Catholic church.
The altar stone is a piece of natural stone usually about 8-12” square. It is consecrated and anointed by a bishop in five places and engraved with five crosses called “the mark of five wounds.” A small cavity called the sepulcher is created to hold relics of at least two or three saints, one of which needs to be a martyr. Resurrection Church did not have a stone in its previous altar, so our new altar holds one from Saints Peter and Paul Church in Nenno. The relics are presumed to be those of Sts. Peter and St. Paul, though there is not a certificate of consecration for this altar stone. The actual size is 13.5” x 11.25” and 3.75” thick.
Plans are being made for our new altar and the refurbished Resurrection Church to be anointed and consecrated by Bishop Jeffrey Haines on July 12, 2026. (From the 03/15/2026 bulletin)
It's a joy to share that the painting and flooring are now complete. Reassembly and the installation of pews with new kneelers will begin on March 9th.
Several significant updates have been made to the sanctuary and it is exciting to see many sacred items
returning to our church.
- A new altar has been placed in the middle of the sanctuary for the Sacrament of the Mass.
- An elevated high altar has been installed to hold the polished tabernacle.
- Shelves are back on the walls awaiting the wood-carved Stations of the Cross, which are currently being cleaned.
- The previous sanctuary crucifix has been moved to the choir stairwell, as its size is best suited for that location.
- Prominently visible and centrally located is the German-inscribed sanctuary crucifix. This cross features clover-shaped ends symbolizing the Holy Trinity, with an inscription that reads, “In memory of Mother Anna by the family of Albert Gundrum.”
Research has revealed that four great-grandchildren of Albert and Anna are members at Resurrection, and other family members have been traced to cluster parishes. It is intriguing to see how the contributions of past generations continue to impact our future. (From 03/06/2026 bulletin)
