Chaplains Participate in Vermont Series on Stained Glass
Although the students of Thomas Aquinas College, New England, are away for the summer, the campus’s two chaplains are still finding ways to care for souls. In the coming months, Rev. Greg Markey and Rev. Carlos Viego will address the parishioners of Saint Michael Catholic Church in nearby Brattleboro, Vermont, about the riches hidden in their church’s historic stained-glass windows.
“We have a lot of connections with this local parish,” explains Fr. Markey. “Providentially, the pastor, Fr. Furman, is a classmate of Fr. Viego and I from Mount Saint Mary Seminary in Emmitsburg.” The windows of Fr. Furman’s parish, created by skilled artisans in Holland in 1889, include beautiful depictions of the saints, but their value is more than aesthetic. “‘The spiritual beauty of the saints pictured is captured in the light of their lives and their heroic examples of love and faith,’” the parish told the Brattleboro Reformer.
Every Wednesday beginning in late June, parishioners will gather in the church for vespers, after which the evening’s speaker will expound one of the windows, highlighting how the artistry reveals the pictured saint’s imitation of Christ. Fr. Markey will be the inaugural speaker, discussing the St. Joseph window on June 28, while on July 12 Fr. Viego will consider the Sancta Mater Dei window dedicated to Our Lady.
