STAINED GLASS WINDOW RENOVATION

Miss me yet? You may have noted that our ten painted glass art deco windows have been removed and their rotting frames replaced. As part of the church restoration project, the windows are themselves being reworked with the central figures in each window being retained and the decoration around the figure being replaced. The draft proposal for the first window to be reworked is featured on the cover of this week’s bulletin. You might note that the decorative border, which was originally art deco, now matches the more classical style found on the St. Cecilia window in the choir loft, while the background of the scene is far more realistic and is reminiscent of the background of the windows in the apse, behind the altar. The hope is to create a stylistic unity with the new windows while maintaining the subject matter and ele- ments of the original windows. The first two windows are being worked on now and will be installed by the end of the year. They are being funded by a generous loan from the diocese. If you are interested in the project or know someone who would like to fund a window, large or small, please contact our Direct of Advancement, Mrs. Am- ber Hiske at ahiske@shgr.org for more information.

Introducing Parish Coffee Socials!

Two major changes to the social time after Mass each month:
1) It’s going to be run by Cor Jesu Groups and Apostolates of the Parish

2) It’s going to be less donut centric.

We need your Cor Jesu Group or Apostolate to host a Sunday.

There are clear instructions and everything you need to host will be provided. It’s great for advertising your Cor Jesu group or parish related cause! We are planning for every third Sunday, but dates will be made known in the bulletin based on volunteer engagement.

Sign up your Cor Jesu group or Apostolate here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E094CA4A72AA5F85-49682871-sacred
