Most families possess objects of sentimental value: pictures, mementos of special occasions, birth certificates, marriage certificates, genealogies, etc. These objects perpetuate the people and values that are loved and esteemed by the family. They help the family members to remember and identify who they are, where they came from, and how they got to where they are. The windows of our church serve a similar purpose. They help us to remember those who have gone before us and modeled the ideals to which we are called by our faith.
