The Fleck Ahearn Memorial Window (1894) commemorates Lilias Fleck and her daughter Lilias Ahearn, and is often called the Dorcas Window.  The scene finds its inspiration in the Acts of the Apostles 9:36-41 and the description of Dorcas, sometimes known as Tabitha, who was an early Christian woman beloved for her acts of charity in Joppa, a city on the Mediterranean coast between Caesarea and Gaza. We are told that she gave money to those in need, and fed and sewed clothes for the poor. Just over this scene stands the risen Lord, and just below are inscribed the words of our Lord ‘In as much as ye have done it to one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me.’

This window was presented ‘to the Glory of God and in loving memory of Lilias Fleck who died June 12, 1890 and her daughter Lilias M. Ahearn, who died August 22, 1888.’  This is a signed Robert McCausland window.   The Toronto-based McCausland firm, established in 1856, is the oldest continuing stained glass window maker in North America, and in times past had an office in Ottawa. Robert was the eldest son, partner, and successor of Joseph McCausland.
