Church's new stained-glass windows have Red Sox connection
Published:
BLACKSTONE, Mass. (CNS) -- What do the Boston Red Sox and the luminous mysteries of the rosary have in common? They both appear in new stained-glass windows in St. Theresa Church. And they both present teachable moments to parishioners, according to the pastor, Father Dennis J. Rocheford. The priest said his idea to install stained-glass windows depicting the mysteries of the rosary was inspired by the windows in a new chapel on Enders Island in Connecticut, where he went on retreat in May 2004. He prayed the rosary in the chapel but at that time did not know the luminous mysteries by heart. The windows at St. Theresa are thought to be the first in the Worcester Diocese to illustrate the luminous mysteries. Last summer Father Rocheford started working with Michael Martino Studios of Framingham to design the windows, and he got donors involved too, he said.
