Graduation Cross

The Graduation Cross is an oak and brass rendering of the signature cross found within the crest logo of College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. The cross is hand-crafted at Saint John’s Abbey Woodworking using red and white oak harvested from the adjacent forest.

Personalize It:  This handmade 10” x 12” cross makes a beautiful, commemorative graduation gift.  To personalize this gift and honor your graduate’s achievement, Abbey Woodworking will laser engrave the graduate’s name, College of Saint Benedict, and Class of 2023 on the back of the cross you select at no additional charge for this year's graduates!

Sample Engraving
Bennie Graduate  •  College of Saint Benedict •  Class of 2024

Five popular colors: The crosses are available in Ebony, Fumed White Oak, Natural Red Oak, Bennie Red, or Deep Burgundy.
