The Visit of the Wise Men (les mages) Hope  Charity Faith
This window, located over the main entrance to the sanctuary, pictures the Wise Men at the cradle; the inscription reads, "For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship Him."   The chancel windows at the front of the sanctuary represent Faith, Hope and Charity. Since "the greatest of these is Charity", according to St. Paul, Charity is the theme of the middle window, flanked by Hope on the left and Faith on the right. The scripture reference is from St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13 and is often read during marriage celebrations. 
The window was given in honour of Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Shonyo by his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Edgar R. Shonyo.
A plaque in the choir loft reads, "These windows were bequeathed by the will of the late Herbert C. Wallace."
