Twelve stained-glass windows in the Parish Church of the Holy Family of Pontinha, designed by the architects Victor Palla and Bento d’Almeida, in Pontinha, Lisbon. Inaugurated on 9 January 1954, this work resulted from the only religious commission carried out by the artist.

The lateral stained-glass windows depict nine figures: Saint Anthony, Saint Peter, Saint Joseph, Queen Saint Isabel, Saint John, Saint Cecilia, Saint John of God, Saint Rita and Saint Philomena, while the central stained-glass window on the façade represents the Holy Family. The chancel is decorated with a mural by the painter Domingos Rebelo, and on the sides with two stained-glass windows by Júlio Pomar depicting two archangels: Saint Michael and Saint Raphael.

In 1997–98 the stained-glass windows underwent restoration.
