Leap, who is primarily recognized for his achievements in the field of architectural stained glass, works in a tradition that dates back to the cathedrals of medieval Europe. The Camden County native has received numerous awards for his stained glass work.

For the St. Augustine stained glass window, Leap was inspired by the life and writings of Augustine of Hippo, a third century Roman citizen, philosopher, theologian and prolific writer. Augustine wrestled with the question of sin and grace throughout his life and is considered one of the most influential figures in the development of Western Christianity. The window contains two quotes from Augustine.
