Stained glass has been admired for its utility and beauty since ancient Rome, when colored glass was assembled in patterned window frames. Emil Frei & Associates created the stained-glass windows at Assisi Heights. This group of artists and crafters were known for their synthesis of theology, art and architecture. In earlier days, windows incorporated biblical scenes, but in 1952, when Assisi Heights was being built, designs were shifting. Innovative designs and variety of new ideas brought about new liturgical landscapes.

Emil Frei Jr., the second-generation member, designed the windows for Assisi Heights. Aaron Frei, the fifth generation Frei family member. anchored in St. Louis, MO, will deliver this evening’s presentation.
