Artist debuts stained glass at St. Augustine iRichland
By COURTNEY McCANN At the Shore, (609) 272-7017

Published: Nov 13, 2008

Not all art is done with ink and paper. Some is more transparent - as in glass. Southern New Jersey stained glass artist J. Kenneth Leap recently completed a stained glass window for the Peter and Enes Galetto Family Chapel of the Louis and Josephine Buondonno Forum at St. Augustine Preparatory School in Richland. The window will be dedicated today.

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.

The dedication takes place 9 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, at St. Augustine Prep, 611 Cedar Ave., Richland. Leap will participate in the ceremony along with the Very Rev. Donald F. Reilly, Board Chairman of St. Augustine Prep, and Fr. Paul W. Galetto, President of St. Augustine Prep. More
