Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral welcomes the bells of the carillon.
On Friday, Nov. 4, Bishop Michael F. Burbidge blessed 10 bells that will be part of the 50-bell carillon at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral in Raleigh.
The arrival and blessing of bells marked a joyful and significant step toward calling the faithful to worship for Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral.
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge recently blessed 10 of the 50 bells which will perch high above the city of Raleigh in the cathedral’s bell tower. The blessing took place at the construction site. The bronze-cast bells sat securely fastened to the truck that transported them to Raleigh from The Verdin Company in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Five of the bells were inscribed with the names and mottos of the five bishops of the Diocese of Raleigh. The smallest bell was inscribed with Bishop Burbidge’s name and motto: ‘walk humbly with God.’
