Just a few short weeks ago, work was concluded on a monumental undertaking, the gilding of our Cathedral’s great central dome and that of its bell tower with gold-leaf. Following the completion of this project, on a cool, bright Sunday on January 11th, our community celebrated the dedication of that gold-leafing on its domes. That day fulfilled the long-held dream and vision of our late Dean, the Very Reverend Demosthenes J. Mekras, and his wife, Presbytera Exacousti Toula Mekras. Throughout the years, they would remark that a gold dome would be the “crowning glory” of Saint Sophia Cathedral, as it had been for their hometown parish of Holy Trinity Church back in Lowell, Massachusetts all those years before. They envisioned a dome that would shine brightly and be seen from afar, much like the light of Christ shines on His glorious Creation. Thus, the family of Father and Presbytera decided that memorial contributions made in their parents’ names would be designated to honor their dream. Each and every contribution, both great and small, has made this wish a dream come true, and so we respect and honor all donations—each as significant as the other and given with equal sacrifice. Our community would like to take special note and extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. John and Betty Langer for their exceptionally generous donation that allowed for the fulfillment of this project.
