On the east wall of the south transept is the window representing the third element of Worship—Communion.

Also created by the Young Studio, this window exactly matches the Praise Window with its fine canopy, border and base simulating carved stone and with its story in three levels or tiers, bound together by a banner inscription. The lowest level shows a family—father, mother and child—with an angel holding the Communion Chalice. The middle tier shows an angel standing between a woman and a young man who holds a Bible in his arms. The top level shows a group of angels, three with uplifted hands and one smaller angel in the foreground holding a dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit. The banner inscription reads, "Did not our hearts burn within us when He talked with us by the way"—the words of the disciples who met the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus and recognized their Lord when He broke bread with them. (Luke 24: 32)

On the opposite wall of the south transept, facing the Communion Window, is the Consecration Window. Though this window also has the canopy, base and side border design and is divided into three tiers, it is of a quite different style and o£ a predominantly blue color typical of the famous Connick Studio of Boston.

The lowest level here shows Hannah bringing the young Samuel to Eli the High Priest to serve in the Temple in accordance with the vow she made before his birth. The inscription reads, "Therefore also I have lent him to the Lord. Samuel I:28."

In the center tier, Mary and Joseph have brought Jesus to the Temple to present Him, and the aged Simeon holds the Christ Child in his arms. "They brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord. Luke II:22" is the inscription.

The top scene shows St. Augustine and his young son Aeodatus being baptized by the Bishop of Milan in the presence of Saint Monica, Augustine's mother. Saint Monica had prayed faithfully for her son's redemption during a youthful dalliance that gave little forecast of Augustine's saintly later years and the inscription recognizes her faith: "Wait the Lord's good time. The child of so many tears cannot perish."
