Visitation Window Repaired

Saint Anne’s stain glass windows were purchased in 1908 from N.T. Lyon of Toronto.  The stain glass window illustrating Our Lady’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth has undergone repairs and restoration. Due to water infiltration over the course of the years, the wooden casement of the window on the East side of the nave suffered rot and required attention. Northern Art Glass of Ottawa was entrusted with the project which included the cleaning, re-leading and replacement of missing glass pieces where necessary as well as the provision of adequate ventilation when the window was returned to its place.  This was something of a test run for similar work which will need to be carried out on a number of other windows in the church.   Donations are welcome toward their eventual restoration !
