Our Centennial Celebration

Our centennial was celebrated with a candlelit service and a dinner at the Plaza Hotel, Copley Square.  Thanks to Julian Bullitt, who salvaged  and scanned this banner photo, which was rolled up in our archive. He and our Parish Historian Mary Chitty are in the process of researching the attending parishioners and dignitaries.  Seated at the head table were:
