The left light represents Healing and celebrates the 2nd Millennium of the birth of Jesus Christ.

The vine on the left hand side of this window is the ancient symbol of peace and is widely used in the bible to denote the relationship between God and his people. The waterfall represents the water of baptism and also cleansing, purifying and healing. The waterfall becomes a stream with a fish, an early symbol of Jesus Christ. The sheep grazing signify the followers of Christ.

The right hand light, Joy depicts at the bottom wheat growing, the symbol of the bounty of the earth, the source of the Bread of Life, and the sacrament of the Eucharist. A child plays a trumpet, musical notes are flowing upwards symbolising the joy of praising the Lord.

At the top of the window are blossoms and leaves which represent the fruits of the Spirit, also the cycle of life. Amongst the flowers is a Dove, symbolising the Holy Spirit, also purity, peace, goodness and joy.
