8 Early Footprints non's story told and retold for generations.29 These stones were used a great deal at what is known as MacKinnon's Point . In MacMillan's History of the Catholic Church, we read that Bishop MacEachern, when visiting at the MacKinnon farm home, ground the meal for a bannock on those stones. In return, his host sang a ballad of the Isles in which the Bishop figured prominently. A bell, given to the parish church of Sainte- Pierre -du-Nord ( St. Peter 's ) by the King of France in 1752, hangs today in Saint Alexis Roman Catholic Church in Rollo Bay East , Lot 44. It was buried in 1758 on the Stookely Farm just before the English troops took over the Island. One hundred and thirteen years later it was discovered by the owner of the farm, a Mr. Barry , as he ploughed his field. Saint Alexis Church is a fitting resting place for this historic bell as many descendents of the early French worship there today.30
