This stained glass window is the center of the interior gathering space for the chapel at St. Walburg Monastery.  Designed by Sr. Emmanuel Pieper in 1989, the window reflects in its color and form the meaning of monastic life.  As the vibrant window is the focal point of the gathering space, so its concepts are the focus of our life together. From right to left the meaning and blessings of the monastic life can be traced in the jewel-like glass which, like the daily reading of Scripture among us, lets the light show through.
