One of the older churches in the Erie Diocese, St. Joseph's is currently undergoing an extensive restoration of the church building. The stained glass windows were recently completed, and the old wooden doors in the front of the church were replaced with beautiful metal-framed glass doors. The following pictures were taken when the window restoration project was about half-finished.
Click on any of the pictures for a full-size image of it.

This was one of the first windows to be completed. See how vibrant the colors are!
This group of windows has not been restored yet. They are above the confessional by Mary's altar, to the left of the sanctuary.
The six windows encircling the sanctuary are still beautiful even though they haven't been restored yet.

This scaffolding has been in place
since the windows were removed from
the area near St. Joseph's altar.
The four Evangelists are toward the back
of the church, under the choir loft. It's obvious that these windows have been completed.

Beginning in the upper left of the sanctuary, and continuing in a clockwise direction around the church, click on the thumbnails for a full size view of each window. Those that are completely restored are marked "cpt".
