The Nativity Window was designed by Peter Haworth in 1947, and given by Herman William and Adela Grace Weis in memory of their son Flight Lieutenant Joseph William Weis, who died in the Second World War. The window depicts the story of the nativity and Jesus Christ. It was dedicated on January 12, 1947, by Reverend R. Renison, Bishop of the Diocese of Moosonee, who also dedicated the baptismal font gifted by Lieutenant Wies' grandmother in memory of her grandson who died in the Second World War.
