Holy Angels Church (Globe, Arizona)

Holy Angels Church in Globe, Arizona, at 231 S. Broad Street, was built in 1916, and is notable for its architecture and stained glass.

Its "tufa stone walls are remarkable,"[2] as is the story of its construction:A new priest in 1915, Father Virgil Genevrier, "decided that the relatively modest, wood frame and stucco Sacred Heart Church building should be replaced by a new, more inspirational edifice.

Furthermore, according to the priest's carefully detailed parish account book, most of the craftsmen who cut the tufa stones and erected the building were members.

These splendid windows render a memorable quality to the light which they admit into the building and create an atmosphere uncommon to other frontier-era churches in the Southwest.

These windows were designed and executed by Emil Frei, one of the most influential stained glass artists in the United States during the early decades of the twentieth century.
