The Windows at St. Jude’s

Buenz was commissioned to create the stained glass windows for St. Jude’s Church of Blairstown, New Jersey around 1979 and completed the windows some time around 1981.

”One of the most striking features of the structure is the stained glass window, the work of Rudolph Buenz of Newton who learned his art in Germany in the 1920s. The side windows depict St. Jude and three Americans, Blessed (Saint) Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, and St. John Neumann. The main window represents Christ, King of the Universe, with biblical prophecies and their fulfillment in Christ. Small panels below this depict several popes and saints. Flanking the main windows are four small panels representing the four evangelists: Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John” - St. Jude Church website
