The Bells of St. Mary's - Listen EVERYDAY!

We’ve been working on our bell system which has been dormant for a while, to get it up and running again. During these times of quarantine, the peeling of our church bells can give a lift to those at home, in the neighborhood and those passing by. We have a very good bell system in the church. Going up to the steeple, we saw the 4,500 pound original bell made by Meneely and Kimberly Company in Troy, N.Y., dedicated in 1865 by Rev. Jacob McDermott. This past week, we made it possible to connect to our bell-system once again and to play the iconic song from the 1945 Hollywood movie “The Bells of St. Mary’s” and other Easter hymns. We’ll broadcast “The Bells of St. Mary’s” for a while at noon, 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM daily. Since our parish is named for Our Lady (St. Mary), we can relate to this melody originally sung by Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman in that wonderful movie. I hope you enjoy hearing it daily. Our bells broadcast our love for Mary, our presence in Glens Falls and our desire to call all to the Lord and His Church.
