To prepare for our 60th Anniversary being celebrated in 2024, the main church windows have been refurbished. The five year project has been named “Windows of Faith” because now our church windows will make an artistic statement of faith. Out of the sixteen windows in the church, ten of them will display images of saints. The Communion of Saints in our Catholic Tradition is an artistic treasure of holy, sacred lives who have, in their own way, given a complete “YES” to God. The ways in which they did this had everything to do with their times. When  the  noise  and  din  of  the  world overwhelmed,  some  of  these  men  and  women pushed  against  their  times by  retreating  into  solitude  and  silence.  In  time  they  were much sought out for their advice and wisdom. When the poor and the neglected were viewed more as a nuisance and a scourge, holy men and women came forward and took to heart that God would raise up the lowly and so these saints dedicated their lives to promote human dignity. When the culture took up other gods such as pleasure, wealth, power,  prestige, saints  rose  up  to  live  the  radical  call  of  the Gospels,  the  call  of discipleship which is the call to sacrifice and even to suffer in order to will the good of others. In dangerous times, oppressive times, not so distant times of threats to religious freedom and basic human rights, saints came forward to lay down their lives and die for the faith so many take for granted today.
