Did you know that the majority of the stained glass windows here at CSMSG were done by Emil Frei, Sr., a Bavarian who moved to NYC in 1895? He found his way to St. Louis (and its large German population) and opened an art glass studio in 1898 on South Broadway. He won the Grand Prize in the 1904 World’s Fair for stained glass he created for the Holy Family Church in Watertown, NY. His work became the pinnacle of the art of painting on glass; on his great reputation, Frei was commissioned to undertake the mosaic design for the Cathedral Basilica on Lindell Boulevard.

JTM WOMEN'S MINISTRY FUND
By now, you've heard the devastating news about Jan Torrisi-Mokwa. Jan was invaluable in enhancing the Women's Ministry at The Church of St. Michael & St. George, as well as founding the ECW Steering Council by lovingly guiding the group through a process that brought our value and mission statements to fruition. One of the ways that her memory will be honored is by establishing a fund to support the Women's Retreats that Jan so dearly loved. The money will be used to pay for retreat leaders as well as provide scholarships for attendees. If you would like to contribute, please make your check payable to CSMSG and note "JTM Women's Ministry Fund" in the memo. Please contact Laurie Brown at Laurie@csmsg.org if you have any questions.
