Immaculate Conception's Stained Glass Windows
.jpg)
There are 17 stained glass windows depicting Saints favored in Irish devotions in Immaculate Conception Church. Two are hidden by the cry room and Reconciliation room. The exact origin of these windows is unknown, although it is believed they were made in Cincinnati, Ohio. Protective glass was added on the outside in 1985. They are considered to be irreplaceable and priceless. Each of the 14 side windows of the Saints has two parts. The upper section depicts a Catholic saint. The lower section contains a Catholic symbol. The borders of the lower section contain dogwood flowers with the nails of the cross between the petals.
