St. Colman’s altar features a wonderful stained glass window with redwood trees flanking a golden cross. A bluejay sits on a Manzanita bough in the foreground, below two woodpeckers on the left side redwood tree, and a grey squirrel climbs the trunk of the redwood tree on the right. The two windows on either side look out into boughs of redwood trees which surround this small mission church in Cazadero.
