Description: This is one of a pair of windows that were commissioned to bring atmosphere and colour to the sanctuary of the church. Situated on the walls either side of the altar, a trinity of circles within a single circle.

This window shows Holy Orders, Confession and Anointing of the Sick. Holy Orders is represented in the top centre circle by the priest's stole in green framing crossed keys, symbols of Christ's priesthood and the power of the Church. The bottom left circle contains the sacrament of Confession. A crucifix frames two hands. one hand is held up in penitence, the other moves to clasp it in reconciliation. The Anointing of the Sick is depicted in the bottom right circle. A hand reaches down to a solitary candle. Golden oil drops from the hand, illuminated in the candle's glow.
