A delightful chime has been tuned for the feast of St Catherine on the bells’ set hanging at the Jesus of Nazareth Church Belltower.
The chime heard on the hour by the residents living around the church is a piece from Carlo Diacono’s Antiphon of St Catherine, Prudens et Vigilans.
You can listen to the chime through this short video:
