Our Sanctuary and Stained Glass

The Stained Glass Windows
The stained, leaded glass windows were installed in 1942. They were created using traditional techniques by the P.J. Reeves Studio in Philadelphia. The windows, which bring great beauty to the church's sanctuary, are now considered art treasures.

There are 11 window sets in the main part of the sanctuary. The central panel of each set depicts a scene from the life of Jesus Christ, beginning with the Nativity.

On the North side of the sanctuary, the medallions of each window set depict 10 Old Testament figures; on the South side, the medallions depict the 12 Apostles.

One window portrays the story of the Good Samaritan. One of the best-loved windows depicts Jesus blessing the children.

The Great Windows in the transept depict The Resurrection and The Ascension. There are many fine details in the lancets and around the central figures of these windows.
