One of the true treasures of Most Sacred Heart of Jesus are the stained glass windows.  Each of our large windows has a center medallion referencing a scripture passage.  These are surrounded by four smaller depictions of saints or persons bearing out that scripture passage.  There is also another smaller medallion above and below each large centerpiece.  Our windows were donated by our builders and founders.   The glass contract for the windows was signed by Monsignor Alexander W. Fronczak, with Hiemer & Company Glass Studio in July of 1954.  The glass was designed by Jacob Renner a student of the Munich style school.  He served his apprenticeship in Germany and practiced throughout Europe.  The glass painter was Mr. Williams who trained in England.  Mr. Williams was also known for his portraits.  With the work of many artists under the supervision of Mr. Renner and Mr. Williams, our windows were installed for Easter of 1955.          

Glass captures light and glows from within.  It is a jewel-like substance made from the most ordinary materials:   sand transformed by fire.  Minerals, when mixed within the glass capture specific portions of light from within the spectrum allowing the human eye to see various colors.  Cobalt makes shades of blue, silver creates yellows and golds while copper makes greens and browns.  Gold, the most precious metal, makes reds.  In all our windows (with the exception of the resurrection window) Christ wears a red robe - glass colored with pure gold.
