This stained glass window depicts the Holy Family in memory of the Joly-Gerard family in 1980.
The stained glass window consists of two trilobed lancets, framed by a diamond-shaped network of light-colored glass, surmounted by two spandrels with floral decoration and an upper openwork. The main scene is located in the middle part of the window. On the left, a bearded man, dressed in a short red and brown tunic, holds a wooden board; this is Saint Joseph, carpenter and foster father of Christ. In front of him, the baby Jesus is barefoot, wearing a light-colored tunic, a nail and a mallet in his hands. Finally, on the right, Mary in a blue coat and pale pink dress, holding a basket. The whole scene takes place in a rural landscape, with hills, blue sky, grass, rocks, and a river in the background. The dedication is "in memory of the Joly-Gerard family - 1980"The stained glass window consists of two trilobed lancets, framed by a diamond-shaped network of light-colored glass, surmounted by two spandrels with floral decoration and an upper openwork.
