Stained Glass

Many of you may be wondering about all of the clear glass windows you see around the new church.  For every large clear glass window that looks like this....
You will eventually see stained glass that looks like this....

You can see the framing for the stained glass windows in place already in the clear glass.  This clear glass window is called a Sussman window and it is designed to hold the place for and accept stained glass when we are ready.  The window opening was determined by the size of the stained glass window so that once the stained glass is installed, there will no longer be any clear glass in that window opening. We have 16 stained glass windows for the nave (main body) of the church. We will have additional stained glass windows in the Daily Mass Chapel and in the rear of the church behind the sanctuary.
 All windows are being renovated at Joe Beyer Studio Please click here to go to a live feed where you can watch the restoration of our windows underway at the studio.  If you would like to see some of Joe Beyer's work here onsite, please visit our Perpetual Adoration Chapel.  Joe renovated and installed the windows in the chapel.
One note, while we have all of the windows in our possession, we are not able to renovate and install all windows by the church dedication.  Rather, some of the windows will be a work in progress as we will need additional funding in order to complete the renovation and installation of them.
