User:Dghalsema/sandbox/Saint Paul Catholic Church: Pensacola, Florida

Saint Paul Catholic Church in Pensacola, Florida Saint Paul Catholic Church in Pensacola, Florida was founded in 1963. A new church building was dedicated on the site in 2008.

One of the most unique things about the 2008 church is the stunning array of antique stained glass. Some of the oldest are the sanctuary windows behind the altar. They are circa 1890 and came to the church by way of the Diocese of Oakland, CA. They were removed from the former Cathedral of St Francis de Sales which in the past was the Cathedral of the Diocese of Oakland. St Francis de Sales was built in 1893. These windows are Meyer of New York Windows of Meyer Studios of Munich, Circa 1893. The St. Francis de Sales Cathedral was heavily damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and subsequently demolished. These windows three were refurbished by De Stefano-Ruiz Studio of Oakland, CA and Beyer Studio, of Philadelphia, PA and installed in Saint Paul, Pensacola by Beyer Studio.
