Consulting Services that Honor Tradition, Vision, and Sacred Illumination

Let me introduce myself


I am Sister Diane Couture, a Sister of St. Joseph of St. Augustine, Florida. For over 45 years, I have been dedicated to the sacred art of stained glass creating beauty that reflects the divine presence in our lives.

From designing the 9/11 Memorial Window in New York to restoring sacred spaces along the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, my ministry in stained glass has taken me across the country and beyond. Each project has been a unique expression of faith, healing, and hope.

Whether through design, consultation, or restoration, every window is more than just art it is a living story of faith, light, and the God who dwells among us.

It would be my privilege to accompany you as you envision or renew your sacred space.

Dream it.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Preservation

At St. Joseph Ministries’ Stained Glass Studio, preserving stained glass for future generations is at the heart of our mission. We’ve had the honor of restoring works by both lesser-known artisans and renowned masters, including Louis Comfort Tiffany and Mayer Studios of Munich, Germany. One of our most meaningful projects involved restoring windows severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina a testament to our dedication and expertise.

Our studio provides comprehensive preservation services, beginning with thorough site inspections and detailed recommendations. We assist with project planning, design consultation, and accurate cost estimates. Whether it’s restoration, repair, protective glazing systems, or custom solutions, we tailor each project to the specific needs of the glass and the structure that holds it.

Whenever possible, we preserve stained glass in place to minimize risk and maintain historical integrity. In addition to preservation, we have installed stained glass windows of all sizes across the country and in structures of all shapes, even stories tall. Proper installation is essential to the long-term survival of stained glass, and our team brings skill, care, and reverence to every project.
