33 Major Sanctuary Windows
(Full antique glass with hand and screen painting; sandblasting, air-brushed enamels and silver-stain.)

"When we step into a church, we are moving from the ordinary to the transcendental, that is which is above the ordinary activities and duties of life. We are moving from the passing things of this world to the eternal truths of the world to come.  
 
Stained glass windows help us in that transition. They lead us towards Jesus, who is the way, the truth and the life. These stained glass windows lead us in our prayer and reflection to a level of communication with God that is above words. The beauty of stained glass speaks to our senses in a manner that is beyond the reach of words."  
 
James A. Griffin, Bishop of Columbus  
From his Homily at the Dedication of the Windows
