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.
Pledges
Our campaign is looking to raise $20,000 to support our parish Bell Tower Project. Your pledge can also be given in memory or honor of a loved one. Memorial gifts are special ways of honoring the people we love, whether they are living or deceased. Contributions at specific pledge levels will be recognized with a plaque with the names of donors and memorials/honors engraved and displayed on the bell tower. The Honoring Our Past memorial will display the name(s) of the per-son or family who made the level donation and the name of who they wish to remember.
Pledge Levels:
* Patron $100 and above
* Bronze $250 and above
* Silver $500 and above
* Gold $1,000 and above
*Contributions of all sizes will be gratefully appreciated towards the achievement of our goal.
