    A pectoral Cross that has travelled the world
    discussBishops1d ago
    Diocese of Auckland

    The Diocese of Auckland has added a pectoral cross formerly worn by Bishop Thomas Croke, the second bishop of the diocese, to its collection. The cross reached the collection after traveling through Rome and Tonga.

    The diocese noted that wearing the pectoral crosses of previous bishops is a common tradition. For example, Bishop Lenihan wore the cross of Bishop Luck, and both Bishop Pat Dunn and the current bishop have worn the pectoral cross of Bishop Pompallier.
