The Baptistery has thirteen stained glass windows
interwoven with each other using the theme of a
fishers net, which comes from Matthew's gospel: "Follow
me and I will make you fishers of men" (Mt. 4:19-20).
The Church is often thought of as a net by which she brings us into the
Kingdom.
It is through the Sacrament of Baptism
that we enter that Kingdom of Heaven, which is "like a net
cast into the sea."

The central window, opposite the entrance, depicts Christ
the King and Savior who triumphed over sin and death.
We believe that we will one day live with Him in heaven,
with no more sin or death. The other windows
present Ezekiel, an Old Testament prophet who foretold the
saving power of the sacrament of Baptism, Saints Peter and
Paul who preached it, and Saint Phillip the Deacon who administered
it dramatically to the minister of the Ethiopian queen.
