Bell Ringing at St. Mary's Church

Perk up your ears for the sweet, clear sound of a bell that rang out to the people of South Central Troy for over ​one ​hundred years.

The bell at St. Mary's Church (at 3rd and Washington Streets) has been silent for over 10 years, but on New Year's Eve at 6 p.m. and again on New Year's Day at noon, it will once again ring out to announce 2022.

And if you're in the neighborhood of the church in the evening, look above the main entrance for the kaleidoscopic rose window lit up for the season. It's one ​of ​our area's oft-overlooked jewels​.

Happy New Year to All!!
