The Good Shepherd Window
The main window at the rear of the church pictures Christ as the Good Shepherd. "Here.. .one finds Christ shepherding His sheep in the fold, His church. Viewed from the outside, the Good Shepherd invites those who have strayed or have no true shepherd to enter His fold. The window reminds one and all that the only true peace in life is found with Christ alone."
