This cross is formed of welded steel. It is about 8 to 9 feet tall and contains four symbols in its centre, the meaning of which is unknown to myself. This cross, though it has the appearance of a High Cross, is not made of stone. It is very similar to a Celtic Cross.

The church was dedicated at the end of May, 1973, by Bishop Bernard Topel...
...In 1995 the parish undertook a renovation of the church, adding a large gathering space on the south side, changing the baptismal font to a baptismal pool, and adding several rooms, including a kitchen, library, and family room. The space gained allowed for additional seating in the church nave. The Celtic cross designed and built by Spokane artist Harold Balazs was moved from the church entrance and placed near the walkway for the parking lot.
From the Inland Register.
