OUR
STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CHURCH
CHAPEL
Historically, Stained Glass Windows with their sparkling light and radiant colors have been used by the Catholic Church as a teaching tool while at the same time providing spiritual inspiration to all who view them! In fact they were sermons which "reached the heart through the eyes instead of entering at the ears." For centuries, the story of our Faith has been passed on through our Stained Glass windows.
Today, just as in medieval times our churches are built to honor God and the members of the church hired the BEST artisens so that their church would be the MOST beautiful. We have been EXTREMELY blessed that Jacek & Renata Olechowski of Galahad Studios have shared their talents with us in not only restoring the windows in the main church but in creating BEAUTIFUL new windows for our chapel!!
