At
the renovation of the Church in 1988 – nine magnificent
Stained Glass Windows were specially created by Mr.
George Walsh.
The three windows on the Gospel side of the
church, starting at the back, depict the progression from
the Stone Age to the Druid-Celtic period and finally to the
Christian Era.
The three windows on the Epistle side symbolise
the Shannon, the work of the people in the area, the elements,
etc.
The windows at the back of the Church shows
Resurrection, new life, hope, etc.
Symbols in the side windows are :
Birds – Holy Spirit,
peace
Sun – Resurrection, eternity, life.
Water – Baptism, life, forgiveness.
Fish – Christ, “fishers of men”,
etc.
Boat – The Church.
