126 Year Old Bell Refurbished

On Jan 17th the bell in front of St. Teresa of Avila was removed.   Having been built in 1886, the time has come to powder coat the bell to help perserve it.    The 850 pound bell also will be supported by a new wooden structure.   Keep an eye out for the "best looking, 126 year old bell" in Sonoma County.
