Building Name: St. Charles Catholic Church

City: Newport

Window Shape: 3 (arched)

Date of Window: 1945

Subject/Title of Window: Mary Magdalene; Saint John and Virgin Mary

Brief Description of Subject: Arched window with three scenes depicted. Bottom scene shows St. Mary Magdalene wiping Our Lord's feet with her hair. Two men are seated at the table with Him. It is not clear whether this is the house of Simon the Pharisee or that of Simon the Leper. Center picture shows a haloed man [not Our Lord, looks like St. John the Evangelist] adminstering Communion to a kneeling woman all in blue [probably Our Lady], while another, haloless, woman stands with folded hands. Top shows Our Lord seated talking with St. Mary Magdalene, while St. Martha sets the table.
Shield at bottom of window depicts Papal keys crossed saltire with triple crown above them.
Protected on exterior by Lexan. Form says Lexan was installed in 1945, but Lexan had not been invented then, so this is likely a mistake, intended only to say that the window was installed in 1945.

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
