- painted glass.Many people think this is a picture of St Joseph (because they really haven't taken a good look at it). The shepherd's crook, the lamb in his arms and the sheep at his feet are good clues, but the real 'giveaway' is the scroll at the bottom f the window which simply says "I am the Good Shepherd"
The window also contains two small 'credit' panels with the names of the designer and painter - Francis B Millar and the owner of the company - Max Sugar, Holborn Circus, London.
Positioned on the right of the main altar it was commissioned and installed in 2003 through the generosity of Mrs Winnie Gorrie. The window was designed and created by Anne Sinclair of Edinburgh.
Our new font arrived in 2005 and was made possible in part by a generous donation from the family of the late Dr Reilly, MC KSTJ. A small plaque at the base of the font commemorates the late Doctor.
Purchased 2008 to match baptismal font above.
According to one legend, Mary's many suitors left their staffs in the temple one night so that God could indicate who she should marry. The next morning, Joseph's staff blossomed with white flowers and leaves and sent forth a white dove, indicating that he was the chosen one. This explains why statues of St. Joseph typically show him holding the Christ Child and a stalk of white lilies.
The child Jesus holds an orb in his hand symbolising his power over the whole world.
The statue stands on the altar of the Lady Chapel just to the right of the main altar.
Also known as Saint Therese of Lisieux or Sister Teresa of the Child Jesus
