This week saw the original stained glass windows reinstalled in the nave. Also, the final coat of paint is going on the back wall of the sanctuary. The balcony railing is finished and the flooring in the choir loft is being laid down.
The stained glass windows were removed when construction began and sent off for cleaning. Now they are back. These windows are the original windows that were installed in the church when it was built in the 1940’s. Although it was a Lutheran church, you can see many traditional motifs of Catholic theology present in the windows. A chalice and host surrounded by wheat and grapes, the three theological virtues next to the anchor of the Church, a baptismal font, the pelican representing Christ who feeds us His flesh, the two tablets of the law, and the book of Life.
