This window was originally in the St. Joseph parish across town from St. Thomas Aquinas. You can see the original installation here, https://www.michiganstainedglass.org/collections/window.php?id=208-790-7597. To help pay for the construction of the new church, St. Joseph sold nearly 40 antique stained glass windows during a silent auction from Marcy 17-April 11, 2003. This window was sold to a private bidder.

The window has been refurbished, put into a lightbox display of sorts and donated to the St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Saginaw Township, and is on display in the narthex.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
