f churches are made
radiant and beautiful
places of worship,
we can have a spiritual
regeneration without
anyone knowing
what is going on.
Beauty can preach
as very few men
with bundles of words
can preach.
I want to make
beautiful interiors
for both churches
and souls.
I want people to hear
my windows singing..."--Charles J. Connick
The mission of the Charles J. Connick Stained Glass Foundation, Ltd. is to promote the true understanding of the glorious medium of color and light and to preserve and perpetuate the Connick tradition of stained glass.
