Several months ago a very generous patron contacted Father Jim McDougall offering to fund the installation of a unit of stained glass windows in our church. Father Jim as pastor, blessedly welcomed the offer and began the process of establishing a committee of parishioners to select a topic and artist.
 
Now there is indeed a stained glass committee. It has begun the process of discerning a subject for windows appropriate to the spiritual life of St. Andrew the Apostle parish and of finding an artist who can bring that to life in glass. There are four active artists, an engineer, a businessman and a liturgist on the committee. They are devoted to the Lord and to faithfully fulfilling this task.
 
The committee members are committed to following a process that is open and transparent. Committee
meeting notes and site reports from about 12 church visits are available below.

We have established a Suggestion Box email (glass@standrewsaline.org) so you can let the committee members know your views, and also report on stained glass windows that you think are noteworthy. We have created a guide (see link below) to help you when you plan to visit a church. 
 
A meeting in July is being scheduled to introduce the committee, to report the work it has so far
accomplished, and to invite comment from the parish. This meeting is tentatively planned for Sunday, July 21st, after the 5:30pm Mass, in the parish hall. Watch the bulletin for confirmation and details.
