St. Joseph Ministries Issue 1 Fall 2010 Reflection.. Class Schedule Recent Projects in the Studio.. Highlights of Student Work. Miscellaneous Offers & Services Tip of the Week. Reflection Sisters of St. Joseph Architectural Stained Glass 1 2 3 4 5 6 We - as Sisters of St. Joseph have served the needs of God s people in Florida for the last 150 years. Our calling was to embrace the needs of the times. Our stained glass ministry fulfills that calling in a way that touches lives and hearts with beauty, love and spirit. People today, more than ever before, need signs and symbols to point the way toward the presence of God in their lives. They need help to focus on God s call for them. Sometimes, as Glass Artists, we are humbled to learn that the design of a stained glass piece, helped someone see God s design in their own life. Our fondest hope is to collaborate with our clients in a way that brings God s presence, love and peace to sacred spaces through the gift of stained glass. Through this art form and with the grace of God, we wish to teach, touch, and bring God s healing love into the lives of our clients, our Students, and all who gaze upon our works of Art. With all God s love, Sister Diane Couture 1
