All stained glass windows in Corpus Christi Church are by Mayer of Munich
In July 1969, the exterior of the entire wheel window was repaired and cemented, and a protective clear plastic-glass shield was used to cover every section of it.
The subject matter of choir loft windows typically involves music. Here, the central figure is St. Cecilia playing an organ. (St. Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians and church music because she praised God, singing to him, as she lay dying a martyr's death.) She is surrounded by angels playing various instruments.
