Stained glass being installed in new co-cathedral


One hundred and eight pieces of stained glass panels are being installed in the new Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. The Clerestory windows were designed and fabricated in Florence, Italy by Mellini.

The images in the North and South Transepts of the Sanctuary depict the four evangelists: St. Luke, St. Mathew, St. Mark and St. John. The East and West Nave windows depict the images of 14 angels. These pieces of stained glass windows are in addition to the other major pieces: 12 Apostle windows around the dome; nave Resurrection window; and the East and West Transept windows.

Pictured, CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT, the Resurrection window, West Transept Rose Window (Immaculate Conception), East Transept Rose Window (Sacred Heart of Jesus), and one of the North Transept windows.
