THE TRINITY:

The three-fold emblem of the Trinity at the head of the window transforms into the three separate symbols of the one God, namely the sun-like golden orb, the cross and the dove as the Holy Spirit.

At the left hand side of Christ’s cross are the other two crosses that were on the hill at Calvary, recalling him as Saviour of us all.  The inscription reads:

“Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.”

THE PROCLAMATION OF THE KINGDOM:

The Proclamation calls us to change – to follow Christ the King as servant.  The Kingdom here is about the inclusion of all peoples bonded together by prayer.  This togetherness, linked by prayer and love for one another, is represented by the great tree which has grown from a small mustard seed.  The leaves of the tree are composed of the ‘Hail Mary’ in many different languages and scripts, recalling the sharing of common beliefs and worship and the links of the parish to other church and communities around the world – all nations united by prayer under one sun.

“The time has come.  The Kingdom of God is at hand.”
