It’s a lovely window depicting the Good Shepherd, and is approximately 80 years old. When we took it out, we could see that it had originally been “shoe-horned” into position, meaning that over the ensuing years, as the building moved slightly, undue pressure was on the window causing bowing. We’ll post further updates as we restore it to its former glory!

It depicts the life of Archbishop Charles Seghers (1839-1886), and this a section of the full size drawing (cartoon) showing the intrepid priest meeting the Muchalaht First Nations and also kayaking through Alaska. We’ll post photos as the project progresses.
