Sharing our famous Snoopy window with Episcopalians all over social media! Will we get more visitors to come check out Snoopy?? 🙂

Photos from Kathryn Nishibayashi’s post in Episcopalians on Facebook
I was inspired by a previous post showing a church’s stained glass windows that I had to snap a pic of my church’s unique window. Yep, that’s Snoopy! The story is that when our church was being built the rector had befriended a young boy who was dying of cancer. This boy always had a stuffed Snippy doll with him and told the priest to include Snoopy somewhere in the sanctuary. And so we have him. If you’re ever in Los Angeles, come visit St Mary’s on Mariposa in Koreatown. We are one of the few historically Japanese American Episcopal churches!

Welcome to our new group of EUIP interns!
