BELLS Mrs. Adrien Peters donated two bells to Stella Maris Parish Church. One was blessed by Rt. Rev. G.J. MacLellan on April 25,1937. A new and larger bell was installed in the tower in Dec. of 1943. Through the years the sound of the bells has relayed many messages to the community. They called the faithful to religious services. They reminded the people to recite the Angelus at noon and at six P.M. They announced deaths in the parish and sounded the alarm in case of fire or other danger. The sides of the Bell Tower had been vented to allow the sound to carry, but snow and rain coming in and leaking down into the church became a pro¬ blem. To keep the elements out windows were installed. However in the late six¬ ties it was felt that the increased vibrations had become a danger to the tower structure. Gradually the bells gave out fewer messages until they fell completely silent. While work was being done on the lightning rods in the Summer of 1979, the bell was removed. The following year it was mounted in a bell tower near the church. By Nov. of 1981 the bell was ringing again. It seemed as if an old friend had returend. There is some controversy as to whether there were two bells or only one bell. If Msgr. MacLellan blessed a bell in 1937 there must have been two bells. However when the large bell arrived in 1943 it could be rung in two ways, one by rotating the bell until the gong in the middle would strike the bell, and there was another rope which would allow a hammer like apparatus to strike the out¬ side of the bell. This led to the belief there were still two bells but by this time, at least, there as only one bell. The present bell was made by Mears and Stain- bank White Chapel, London, England , and was donated by Mrs. Adrian Peters in memory of her husband.
