Restoring Beauty: A Parish Effort to Restore Our Stained Glass Window
There are certain things in a church that speak without words—one of them is stained glass.
As the sunlight pours through, it reminds us of God’s beauty, the lives of the saints, and the sacredness of the space we gather in each week. Here at St. Catherine of Siena, one of our beloved stained glass windows is in need of restoration.
This is our opportunity to preserve something truly beautiful—not just for ourselves, but for generations to come.
Our Goal: $150,000
At first, that number might sound overwhelming. But when we look at it as a parish family of about 100 families, it becomes something we can truly take ownership of together.
If every family participated, it could look like:
$1,500 per family (one-time gift)
Or about $125 per month for one year
Or about $60 per month over two years
And of course, not every family will be able to give the same—and that’s okay.
Some may be able to give more.
Some may give less.
But everyone can be part of it.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just about fixing a window.
It’s about:
Preserving the beauty of God’s house
Honoring those who built this parish before us
Creating something lasting for future generations
Every time that light shines through the restored glass, it will be a reminder of what this community did together.
A Shared Mission
With a parish our size, this isn’t a campaign done by a few—it’s something we do together.
If just 50 families gave $200 a month for one year, we would reach our goal.
That’s how close this really is.
How You Can Help
We invite you to prayerfully consider your part in this restoration:
Make a one-time donation
Commit to a monthly pledge
Offer a sacrificial gift in honor of a loved one
A Legacy of Light
One day, someone will walk into this church, look up at that restored window, and feel their heart lifted to God.
They may never know your name—but they will experience the beauty you helped restore.
Let’s come together and make that possible.
