Unbelievable is the best way to describe the stained glass which adorns this church. To truly appreciate this singular work of art, go inside, sit down and gaze in awe at these masterpieces. There are two sites, the main sanctuary & the nursery.

Although I was able to talk with, interview and get a tour from the secretary, I was unable to determine the age or the producer/artist of the stained glass. Unlike the stained glass found in the other two churches 300 feet away, this one has names and dedications at the bottom of each work, dating back to the early 19th century (see pictures). Clearly, the glass is at least 150 to 175 years old. The characteristics are non-Tiffany, but equally impressive.
There are two sets of stained glass in the main sanctuary. One giant set sits on the West or Kings Highway side (facing it) and the other sits on the south end or rear of the sanctuary. This display is slightly smaller but equally impressive, also with inscription dedications at the bottom of each work of art.
To visit the stained glass, please enter through the rear and knock on first door to left as soon as you walk up steps and make a right.
