Window's Legacy Project
Our parish has chosen to launch a window replacement legacy project to celebrate the gift of our church and the impact it has had (and continues to have) on the lives of our ever-growing parish family.
The new windows will feature clear, energy-efficient commercial glass on the exterior and stained-glass “Women Saint” themes on the lower interior windows.
Our parish has chosen to honour women saints. Since our parish is named after the two women cousins who sought solace and prayer together in tough times, it is fitting to make women saints a focus for our parish. These women have been carefully studied from their own unique perspective. They bring values like kindness, compassion, tolerance and service to the fore and in so doing inspire us, as they undoubtedly did the people of their day, to serve our Lord and neighbour with heart, mind and soul.
