Topping Off

In its August 31, 1983 edition, the Plain Dealer carried this photograph of the main dome being lowered onto a tower of StaintJosaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church in Parma, as construction of the exterior of the new church neared completion. At about the same time, an announcement was made by the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy in Philadelphia that Saint Josaphat would become a cathedral with the creation of the new Eparchy of Parma. This announcement required significant changes to be made to the interior of the new church, which was not completed and consecrated until 1989. | Date: August 31, 1983 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Newspaper Collection
