Deis, our church building pastor, heard about it. He and Don Swenson went to Portland and brought back 4 of the heavy windows, the 14' Rose Window, the Pieta, the tabernacle, the last supper. All these priceless items were donated to the Holy Redeemer, 3 years in advance of our proposed construction date of 1976.
