Restoration: 1970s - 1980s

Stained glass window memorializing the Thom family

In the late 1970s and early 1980s the stained glass windows were restored after two successful fundraising campaigns.  The fundraising campaign in 1982 called, “Save Our Windows,” included a talent auction.  The windows were restored by Serpentino, a company located in Needham.

Over a period of time, each of the window panels from the sanctuary was carefully removed, and the position of each small piece of glass was noted by a manner similar to a gravestone rubbing.  The pieces of glass that had been broken were refired and new leading was inserted between the pieces.  Then the windows were carefully rehung.
