Celebrate 100 years of St. Peter’s Carillon
Join us for a historical weekend celebrating the Centenary of the St. Peter’s Carillon. For 100 years St. Peter’s Carillon has been ringing over Morristown. Now is the time to celebrate it.
A temporary sound/video system will be installed for this weekend which will allow you to not only hear the bells inside the church but also view the carillon being played from the comfort of a pew.
An exhibit of original photos of St. Peter's including installation of the bells will be on display. Volunteers will be on hand to talk more about the history of the church and the bells and answer any questions you may have.
