Re-dedication of the rondelles on March 3

On Sunday. March 3, we will re-dedicate and bless the 8 rondelles that originally hung in the windows of the nave until we installed our new stained glass windows.

The rondelles will now hang in the brand new windows recently installed in the undercroft, so they can be enjoyed all by all.

The windows were originally commissioned by St. Stephen’s member Ellen Marks (1936-1979). They were made by Lyn Hovey, a stained glass artist in Cambridge, MA. They were originally dedicated on Easter Day, April 10, 1977.

A plaque will also be installed in the undercroft in memory of Ellen.

It will be great to the rondelles back in a place where they can be enjoyed again.
