Church Bell Memorial Project
This year will be the 100th anniversary of the 1st mass held at St. Ann’s. It was during the construction of the building in 1923 and was celebrated in the basement. The remainder of the church was completed in 1929 and the parish finally organized in 1931.
To celebrate the 100-year anniversary of that first Mass at St. Ann’s original church basement, our Knights of Columbus council is developing a plan for constructing an outdoor memorial dedicated to the founding of our parish community and will incorporate one or more of the original church bells. Due to their age, they will need to be refurbished so that they can be a beautiful reminder of the rich history of our church and its role in the Emmaus community.
There is lots of work to be done regarding design, refurbishment and construction to have it ready for December 2023. Your ideas and support are very welcome as we move ahead as a community to honor those who came before us.
