"There are, in the nave of the Church, sixteen windows. Having in mind our loyalty to Truth, we decided to portray in them subjects with which our people were most gamiliar.  Hence we chose some of the greatest Saints of the Church."

	Window 5 - in Sanctuary, Gospel Side.  St. Catherine of Siena. Here she is urging Pope Gregory XI to abandon Avignon and to return to his See in Rome.
	Window 6 - from Sanctuary, Gospel Side.  St. Joseph Benedict Cottolengo. He founded the largest Hospital in the world at Turin - 10,000 beds, reserved for incurables only.
	Window 7 - from Sanctuary, Gospel Side.  Christopher Columbus. He is portrayed here in the act of taking possession of the New World in name of the King and Queen of Spain. The cause of his cannonization is still under consideration at the Holy See.
	Window 8 - Narthex of the Church. St. Peter. Prince of the Apostles. Here we have represented him as the first Pope of Rome. THis window is in the form of a huge Cross, 22 feet in height. At night it is brilliantly illuminated and amid a general gloom, it serves to guide voyagers from a great distance into the city of New Kensington.
