Thank you, Joyce Walter, for the article about the bells
Dear Editor,
I, and I'm sure many other parishioners of St. Joseph's Church, appreciated and enjoyed Joyce Walter's article about the "friendly bell ringer." The idea to ring the bells came from the Anglican Church in the small town of Lashburn, where they ring their bells every day to remind people to pray during the pandemic.
I would like to point out that the people that really should be thanked that the St. Joseph's bells ring every day at noon, are our maintenance manager, Martin Rossler, who rings the bells weekdays, and Marcel Gagnon, who rings them on weekends. Our parish appreciates their dedication in ringing the bells. It's nice to know that the neighbours in the area appreciate them too.
Thank you Joyce, for letting us know that the bells are a comfort and encouragement to those who hear them.
Sincerely,
Rosalie Boots
St. Joseph's parishioner
