STAINED GLASS RESTORATION

"Two dozen stained glass windows are being created by Armelle Le Roux and a team of stained-glass artists from Reflection Studios in Emeryville, California, across the Bay from San Francisco. The windows are being built around shards of stained glass collected from the rubble of World War II by U.S. Army Chaplain Frederick Alexander McDonald in 1944-45. The vision includes touring the windows internationally with their story about the search for light and hope in the darkest times. The new windows will be permanently installed in the lower level of the Main Post Chapel."
