DETROIT — St. Mary of Redford parishioners and visitors alike can get the inside scoop on the history behind the stained-glass windows of the historic west-side church.

Robert J. Scott and Michael Surdyk, authors of “Sacred Reflections: Meditations on the Holy Bible in the Windows of St. Mary of Redford Catholic Church,” will be available for a book signing following the 11 a.m. Mass on Sunday, March 24.
