After vendor and supply-chain delays which added months to the project timeline, the structural work on the St. Paul bell tower, including new beams to support the weight of the bell, is now 100% complete.
We have moved into the final phase of the project, which is the replacement of the bell’s electronic ringing mechanisms.
This work is scheduled to be completed within three to four months – we will keep you posted!

Once this work is completed, we will be able to reopen the choir loft.
