Saint Thomas at Vernon (Inside)


The altar...


...and back.


The chandelier.


The triptych above the altar.  "Gloria tibi Domine" translates as "Glory be to Thee O Lord."


The tiny round stained glass window above the triptych.


This window on the back wall "sets the mood" for the church interior...subdued golds and yellows with just that little bit of blue for some drama.


Three of the windows were donations from parishioners...


...who each wanted a loved one... 


...memorialized according to their beliefs.


The remaining windows utilize this design allowing more soft light to enter.  The window wells are almost two feet deep.
