Archbishop
John J. Myers recently blessed the middle bell of three new
bells in the tower of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, Newark.
The Oliver Street parish has replaced all three electronic
bells with actual bells. The middle bell honors St. Joachim
while the other two honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and her
mother, St. Anne. The parish is considered a local historical
landmark. |
