A Brief History About Our Bell

The first Sacred Heart Church was built in 1902 on the corner of Frank and Hooper Streets and was serviced as a mission of Reese. The new church was dedicated in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In 1913, the bell was installed in the tower of the church and rang throughout the years calling the faithful to worship and in celebration of many weddings, holidays and the Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus.

About Our Project

The old church and bell were removed when our current Sacred Heart Church was constructed. With the bell now returned to its original home, ideas on how to best display this historical treasure have been contemplated over for the past couple of years. The planned construction for a new bell tower to display our 100+ year old bell will be a lasting symbol of the history of Sacred Heart Church, St Christopher Parish.
