Followed a Facebook link and found The Mission to Magadan which provides support to a Church in Magadan, Russia. The Catholic Archdiocese of Anchorage in Alaska and Archbishop Roger Schwietz, OMI provide communications and stewardship support to the parish. The church has installed some very beautiful –in my opinion– stained glass windows. The sanctuary and chancel display an abundance of quality images as I think a Catholic church should. I can’t find much information (I didn’t dig very deep) about the parish except that apparently it commemorates or honors those who suffered from Russian government oppression. See all the window photos here.
