With great joy, bells are ringing again at Saint Christopher Catholic Community in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Saint Christopher Pastor Father David Harris and Jim Rafferty stand in front of the Bell Tower ringing with pride.

Father David Harris, Pastor of St. Christopher Church on Manchester Street in Nashua,

wanted to get his bell tower operational for some time. He believed it would enhance the

services at the church, invite more members of the community in, and bring joy to the

church neighborhood.

One of his parishioners was a church bell lover from his days as an altar boy 60 years

earlier. He asked Father David if he could help get the bells going again. He had

researched a company from Vermont, Church Specialties, that fixes church bells around

New England. They worked on a meeting to present a Bells Fix proposal to Father David.

Father David said of the project “It is a great joy to hear the sacred sounds echoing from

our bell tower once again. Church bells remind us of God and His loving presence in the

world. The bells will accompany many of our liturgies and solemn occasions and we are

especially looking forward to using them at Christmas. I am deeply grateful to

Community Investments Global and our parishioners for their generosity in bringing this

exciting project to life.”

Jim Rafferty, a St. Christopher member, along with his wife Sarah, son Thomas, and

their company, Community Investments, provided the seed money for the project. They

look forward to helping other churches in Nashua get their bells ringing again.
