It couldn't have happened at a more fitting time, and it couldn't have been a more powerful symbol.When the 8-foot golden cross was placed atop the dome of the new St. Peregrine Chapel at Christ the King Catholic Church in Mesa on Good Friday, the church took one step closer to its goal of becoming a beacon of hope for people of all faiths who are suffering from cancer.
The church's pastor, the Rev. Steven Kunkel, was thrilled with the fact that construction workers just happened to choose Good Friday to install the cross atop the chapel dome.
"I think it was the work of the Holy Spirit," Kunkel said.
When the chapel opens sometime this summer, it will be a place for people to find prayer, peace, compassionate counseling and even free wigs.

The only facility of its type in Arizona, the chapel is not based on any model elsewhere.
