The Gothic-Revival style church building, constructed 1915-17, includes 2,377 square feet of stained-glass windows with a current value of over $4 million. Made by Bavarian born artist Emil Frei, the windows were crafted in the “Munich Pictorial” style, the most labor-intensive style of stained- glass windows. The windows in St. Patrick Church are among the best examples of this style to be found in the world. The restoration work will be completed by fourth and fifth generation members of the Frei family, who currently operate the company in St. Louis. The restoration work, to be completed over the next three years, will include removal of the old Lexan covering, complete interior and exterior cleaning and repair of the stained glass and wood frames, and new clear tempered glass protective covering. Father Joseph E. Saba, who recently retired as chaplain at St. Mary Hospital in Tucson, is a Bisbee native serving as campaign chairman. “The restoration and preservation of our stained-glass windows is critically important. We have been entrusted with the care and preservation of our wonderful church. Our commitment to the Window Restoration Project is a large part of the legacy we will leave to future generations,” he said. Information about the project and about the windows themselves may be found on the parish website, stpatsbisbee.com . For further information, email the parish at saintpatrick164@gmail.com or call Pastoral Administrator Deacon Tony Underwood at (928) 228-0258 or email aunderwood@ diocesetucson.org.
