The stained glass windows at St. Peter’s are
in the heart of the seminary— the Chapel of
St. Thomas Aquinas, which opened on June 18, 1930.
The chapel, which is 125 feet (38.1 metres) long
and 40 feet (12.2) metres wide, was designed in the
Late English Gothic style, following closely the
model of a seminary in Armagh, Ireland. Panes
of Glory begins with a brief history of the
building of St. Peter’s and a description of
the chapel. When new visitors see the windows, most
"gasp with wonder," says Fr. Michael Prieur.

Sepia photographs
are also in the book from an archival brochure
show the chapel shortly after its completion.
(The sanctuary was renovated in 1969 to adapt
to the liturgical changes of the Second Vatican
Council).
St. Peters, a fully
accredited member of the Association of Theological
Schools, seeks to be and to form servant-leaders:
priests and lay persons who are self-giving and
life-giving. St. Peters is affiliated with King’s
University College at the University of Western
Ontario, London.
