The stained glass in the church is bold and beautiful, and many of the windows have a particular symbolism or meaning. Harry S. Baut of Baut Studios in Swoyersville, Pennsylvania produced watercolor drawings depicting the stained glass windows. Once these were approved, his studio created and installed the glass. The cost of the windows was $15,329.00, not including shipping.
Sometimes the meaning of the windows is not obvious. For instance, the three windows in the picture are those that are in a prominent place above the altar. These three collectively represent the Holy Trinity. While hard to see in a picture, the top window with the hands, sun, moon and the Hebrew for Yahweh depict the Father. The middle window with the lamb depicts the Son. The bottom window with the dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit.
The stained glass by the side altar area intertwines the Tabernacle, the red vigil lights in this circular window. We can see depictions of wheat, grapes and a Host over Chalice. The circular form is used throughout the construction of the church.
Everyone seems to have their favorite stained glass. But perhaps the most glorious window is at the rear of the church for all to see as they exit. The life mission of Pope St. Pius X is represented here.
As Pope he saw fit to prepare children for Holy Communion at an early age and to encourage all to receive Communion daily. The pelican feeding her young with drops of her own blood tells this story. Hosts, crosses, and fish are among the symbols interspersed in this extraordinary art. Unfortunately a picture does not do this window justice, it must be seen and in the morning is the best time as this window faces east.
No location was overlooked. The small circular window shown on the right is near the Baptistery and gives us the symbols for baptism - a shell, a cross and a fish.
The windows along both sides of the church harness the rays of the sun and bring a special radiance to the church. They remind us of the blood of Our Lord and His sacrifice for our salvation.
