Queen of All Saints Basilica

7 - Stained Glass Windows

The stained glass windows of the basilica are too numerous to give extensive detail here. Credit must be given to the artists who designed and executed these windows: Mr. Leo Cartwright, of Carmel, California; and Mr. Erhard Stoettoer, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 

The lower windows of the Nave in the central panels pay tribute to the various titles of Mary as Queen, as found in the Litany of Loretto.

On the east, front to back, are:

• Queen of Angels
• Queen of Patriarchs
• Queen of Apostles
• Queen of Martyrs.

On the west side, front to back, are:

• Queen Assumed into Heaven
• Queen of Peace
• Queen of the Most Holy Rosary
• Queen of Virgins
• Queen of Confessors.
