Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

This window is in memory of George Gooderham Monro, son of Neville and Ethel Monro, who died in action in Italy in 1944. It depicts Jesus teaching in the temple and is based on Luke 4:16-21. It is not known who designed the window, but there has been speculation it is the work of Peter Howarth, who worked for Luxfer-Prism Stained Glass of Toronto.

Inscription

“He hath anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor, to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, to set at liberty them that are bruised.”

“HE CAME TO NAZARETH AND WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH.”
