Aaron holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in theology from the University of Dallas and is an expert in theology and iconography. He began working at his family’s firm at age 11 and has been involved ever since, aside from a few years spent in a Cistercian monastery.

In addition, there will be a link to the digital program in the video description with images and more detailed information.

Emil Frei & Associates is a liturgical design studio that specializes in custom stained glass and mosaics. Established in 1898 by Emil Frei Sr., the firm is renowned for its artistry. Francis Deck, an associate of Emil Frei, designed the stained-glass windows in Our Lady of the Angels Chapel depicting the “Magnificat.” Deck broke away from the traditional stained-glass window design by placing big splashes of magnificent colors and fine line drawings against a backdrop of predominantly neutral grays. The magnificent colors of the windows are reflected differently at different times of the day.
