Sacred Heart Cathedral, Kamloops

We are delighted to have been invited to create five new stained glass windows to celebrate the lives of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. John Vianney, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St André Bessette and to depict the Immaculate Heart.

“Thank you for the truly amazing work you did in completing the five stained glass windows at Sacred Heart Cathedral. Each of them, St John Vianney, St Kateri Tekakwitha, St Margaret Mary Alacoque, St André Bessette and the Immaculate Heart of Mary are masterpieces. Though we have many high quality windows from England, the ones you crafted are definitely better. The thought, detail and research you placed into each window makes them so unique. To mention one, St Kateri; the glass used for her face was a bubbled glass that in the sun shows a slight disfigurement in her face that was scarred by smallpox, however without the sun her face shows as perfectly smooth which was a miracle that happened on her death. This is the type of thoughtfulness that each window has. They are truly one of a kind masterpieces of inestimable value. You can see the love with which each window was crafted. Thank you for sharing your artistic gift and skill with us. They will bless us and generations to follow.”        ~ Fr. Andrew L’Heureux,  Former Pastor of Sacred Heart Cathedral, Kamloops, BC
