The decorative stained-glass windows on Christological and Marian themes for the church of st. John Cantius were made in 1905 and 1909-1914 by the Gawin company from Milwaukee and the renowned Munich-based Franz Xaver Zettler label. On one of the windows there is a very popular representation of the Prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Olives, highly appreciated by the community and priests. It is based on the tradition of the 19th century German religious painting.
