St. Iggy's Stained Glass

Every Sunday we drive 45 minutes to St Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church for the Teen Life Mass. Here is the outside of the church.



My two boys play in the Teen Life Band and Hubby works sound for them I
always sit with Hubby in the sound booth. Here is the view from the booth.



It is not your old style church with stained glass windows all around. In fact, there is a 
small stained glass panel of Our Lady of Guadalupe that hangs just outside the main church 


and a large stained glass window installed in the small chapel.  The door to the chapel was  locked and I had to take the picture from behind a glass wall. 

 


Being a stained glass artist I hate not seeing the beautiful cathedral glass depicting religious scenes with thousands of pieces of colorful glass.  It certainly is different from the old church I went to as a child.  I sure do miss looking up at those beautiful windows.  LOL


Does your place of worship or home have any stained  glass?  If so I would love to see some pictures.  Will you post them on your blog?

Our church has all the California missions represented in stained glass. It's quite spectacular. You should come visit . . .

No but I sure love the cathedrals in Europe with their beautiful stained glass. What hours and hours it must have taken and how wonderful that they have been preserved.
