St. Mary’s Parish is known for our beautiful stained glass windows showing the life of our Blessed Mother.

St. Mary’s windows tell two “stories”. The lower, larger part of each window tells the story of Mary, but the upper part of each window depict a Saint, more often a saint of the immigrant’s homeland.
