Stained Glass Windows
Church Restoration Project:
 
We would like to remove the stained glass windows currently in the original convent on Willowick Drive and install them in our church.  The total cost of the project will be $16,000. We have five stained glass windows of: St. Mary Magdalene and The Four Evangelists.  Each of the windows has a window vent at the bottom depicting their corresponding symbol: an angel (Matthew), an ox (Luke), an eagle (John) a lion (Mark) and a thurible (SMM).  The St. Mary Magdalene window currently has a donor. If you would like to honor someone you love by donating, the installation cost of each one the Four Evangelists is $3,000 and each of the smaller symbol windows is $500.  If you are interested, please contact Fr. Ron Wearsch.
