The second of two windows in the main worship space. This one, depicting The Blessed Virgin Mary, has been called one of the finest works of stained glass in this archdiocese. Surrounding Mary are images of angels and the faith.
Pipes of the new organ, dedicated in 1984. The pipes from the old organ were integrated into the design of the new organ, called a union of history and modern technology through art. The organ and pipes sit in the loft, on either side of the church's rose window. Come and listen!
