King Richard’s creates a beautiful bronze with gold leaf finish outdoor cross for a church in Taylor, South Carolina.

A New OuTDoor Gold Leaf Cross Created for the Prince of Peace Church in Taylor, South Carolina.

On December 4, 2025, a radiant copper cross, finished with shimmering gold leaf, was placed atop the Prince of Peace Catholic Church roof. This sacred gift, offered by a devoted parishioner and his wife, was given in honor of the unborn. Designed by King Richard’s Liturgical Design and Contracting, the cross was carefully shaped by our artisans from copper and then gracefully gilded with gold leaf.

The Prince of Peace Catholic Church remarks on their Facebook post, “This marks a beautiful moment in the life of our parish, as the sign of Christ’s triumph now crowns our roofline. We are deeply grateful for the engineering expertise and careful craftsmanship that made this possible. Though a few final details will be completed over the coming days, the cross now stands in its rightful place, blessing all who pass by. May this sacred symbol draw hearts to Christ and stand as a continual reminder of the dignity of every human life”. 

Cutting the Copper

The copper sheets were first stenciled according to the supplied design specifications and then cut to the required dimensions.

Shaping the Copper

The copper material was then shaped into the cross using a heating technique.

Applying the FinISH

The cross was prepared for its final stage of finishing, with gold leaf meticulously applied over the surface.

DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION

The cross was carefully delivered to the church and installed a top of the church roof.

PROTECTION OVER THE CHURCH

The cross atop Prince of Peace Church now stands as a radiant symbol of hope for the unborn. King Richard’s Liturgical Design and Contracting is honored to have provided the parish with this beautiful emblem of faith.

In a message shared on the church’s Facebook page, they reflected:

“On its very first night crowned upon our church, the new cross cast its shadow into the clouds—lifting the sign of our salvation toward heaven itself. A quiet reminder that Christ’s victory shines even through the mist. May the Holy Cross be our light and our protection.”
