GIVE THE GIFT OF HOPE

The dream of installing a peal of bells at St Patrick's Cathedral dates to 1853. In 2019, the arrival from England of eight specially commissioned bells, began the final chapter in an epic 167-year quest to install a 'ring' of bells in the spire of St Patrick's Cathedral.

On Tuesday 8 September at 6 pm, on the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, history will be made with the Blessing of the Bells of St Patrick's Cathedral by Bishop Vincent Long OFM Conv, Bishop of Parramatta.

You are invited to view the livestream of this momentous occasion on the following platforms:
