For whom the bell tolls


For more than seven decades, the towers which contain the bell at Christ the King here in Sudbury have stood as landmarks for all those who know the downtown area of this city. Like all things mortal, even the bell towers are in need of repair, maintenance and tender loving care from time to time.

At present, there are signs of major wear and tear, just normal ravages of time, but signs nonetheless of some repairs which will need to be done. It is our hope that with the help and generosity of parishioners as well as others who know the history of these towers, the necessary repairs can be made in a timely fashion.

The first signs that a fundraising campaign to facilitate these repairs is on the horizon appear in my Lines from the reading chair this weekend. Tune in often for updates as the project continues to take shape.
