Archbishop Rodi Blesses New Stained Glass in Montgomery Catholic's Chapel

High school students in Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School's Art program recently finished the first phase of beautiful stained glass pieces for the windows of our Middle/High School Chapel.  Archbishop Thomas Rodi recently blessed these stunning pieces of art during a recent school visit.  This art project was student-initiated from start to finish with several students working on each phase.  From the hand-drawn design, glass cutting, wrapping each piece of glass with copper foil, soldering the foiled pieced together, and polishing the final product, Montgomery Catholic students completed four different 20" x 36" glass pieces for everyone to enjoy for many years to come.  Students are currently working on the design phase of the next pieces for the chapel.
