Foreword

To celebrate 75 years of our Church of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, on October 8, 2000, we unveiled an entirely new set of beautiful stained glass windows. Our new windows depict scenes related to St. Theresa that celebrate her life and the worldwide devotion to her simple teaching. The brilliant display of colors suggests the joy that she held in her love of Jesus. The colors radiate from the moments in her life as if sending beams of inspiration to the faithful.

The accompanying pages for each window contain text from either a quote from St. Theresa's autobiography or a historical reference. Each subject and title was carefully researched for historical and liturgical accuracy.
