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.

Welcome to the Sacred Heart Academy Annual Fund! Initially designed to replace the yearly auction, the Annual Fund provides an opportunity for every parish and academy family to be part of the mission of our largest apostolate and sustain it into its second decade and beyond. We have asked for an initial infusion of donations from key Cornerstone Investors, and upon that cornerstone we will build with our Living Stone Investors on launch day, November 5, 2025. All donations received up to $250k will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to a generous Angel Donor. This is an opportunity for everyone in the community to partner with us at any amount in the formation of our precious children, and a chance for YOU to make a lasting impact in the renaissance of authentic classical Catholic education. ...
