Stained Glass Windows

St. William Stained Glass Windows

Where Old Meets New

St. William stained-glass windows range in age from over 100 years old

to just over 50 years old. They line the exterior walls of the church to enhance

the viewers' devotion to Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Mother

while calling on the intercession of many of the great Saints.




The Resurrection Window

Found on the East Transept wall, The Resurrection Window started its life in a convent school in Cleveland, Ohio. It is the creation of the Franz Mayer of Munich Group who have artwork in many churches in the U.S. A parishioner at St. William at the time of the building of the original church had the window brought down and installed when the convent school in Cleveland closed.

This window was originally completed in the early part of the 20th century and created in what is called "the old style" of stained-glass work.



The Nativity Window

Found on the West Transept wall, The Nativity Window was created and installed post the completion of the new Church. Franz Mayer of Munich Group was called upon again to craft the window to reflect the same "old-style" look and feel as The Resurrection Window. 

The smaller windows depict Gospel stories related to the birth of Jesus.



The Trinity Windows

The Trinity Windows part of the original church above the entrance doors on the south facade. They were moved to the upper balcony in 2012 with the design of the current church where they can be viewed both in the Narthex and from the balcony exiting the church.
