Windows of Hope and Redemption

The 148 antique stained glass windows in our historic church are more than treasured works of art. When the light shines through them, they become the story of salvation – reminding us that God chooses to shine forth into the world through the humanity of Jesus, Mary and men and women throughout the ages. However, time and the elements have taken their toll on these magnificent windows, which were painstakingly constructed in France, Germany and America. Most date back to the original 1857 church structure. If not repaired and restored in the immediate future, they will not survive to inspire future generations. The Legacy Campaign was created to raise adequate funds to complete the costly process of restoring and preserving our treasured windows, as well as to needed construction of new confessionals, Saints’ Shrines, a new narthex/baptistery space and heating/HVAC improvements.
