Inscription.
In joyful thanksgiving of for the 140th anniversary of Holy Rosary Church, the great bronze bells of this church, cast in 1917 by the Mcneely Bell Company of Troy, N.Y., have been restored for the greater glory of God and sound as a signal to the faithful that God is present. Like the song of the angels, the joys, sorrows and glories of the faithful may these bells sing out to the Throne of Grace until He comes again.
