The Kolasinski Window

The first window, near the south transept (Holy Family Window), is the Kolasiñski Memorial Window. It is the offering of the founding pastor. Alone of all the eight windows in the nave, this window, with its delightful tracery, consists of a double panel. One panel depicts Hartmann’s the Good Shepherd; the other depicts Murillo’s masterpiece, the Immaculate Conception. This window does have especial significance because it probably embodies the priesthood of Father Kolasinski — his devotion to his God as the Good Shepherd, and his devotion to the Mother of God as the Immaculate Conception.
