MOORESVILLE — Four stained glass windows were recently installed at St. Therese Church, two behind the organ and two by the confessional.

“After much prayer and conversation with our generous benefactors and the diocesan Office of Divine Worship, we decided on the following saints,” said Father Mark Lawlor, pastor of St. Therese.

The saints represented in the windows include St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, St. Patrick, St. Junipero Serra, St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare of Assisi.
