NEW BELL

"GORGA"

 

On the 23rd April, 2001 the Archpriest told the parish people that the new Bell made in Moscow, Russia will arrive at Qormi on the 17th June of this year. The name of this new big Bell is going to be GORGA. This is going to be the new "voice of God" in our parish.

The new bell has been inawgurated on Sunday 17th June, 2001. It has been made in the foundary 'LITEX' under the direction of Dr. Artyom Engoian (1947-2003). The material used in this bell has a weight of four tons of bronz.

After the feast of this year and the procession of the 1st July, the second facade will start with the change of the interior electricity.

Here, after the photographs, one can find written in Maltese from where came the idea and what is written on the new bell.
