🔔 On April 29th, SJU Hosted a Community Celebration of Our Neighborhood Bell titled “Stories Tolled” designed by Abigail Reeth.

🇺🇸 Saint Joseph’s University has partnered with America250 on Bells Across Pennsylvania, which is a statewide program to bring artistic Liberty Bell replicas to all of our 67 counties in Pennsylvania.

📍Our bell resides in our community in the Wynnefield neighborhood of West Philadelphia, in front of SJU’s Lannon Hall on the corner of 54th St. & City Ave.

🔔Our bell is titled “Stories Tolled” by the artist Abigail Reeth. Reeth designed the bell with Saint Joseph’s University, Gompers Elementary School , and members of the Wynnefield community in mind.

🎉Anniversaries are important. They give us the opportunity to pause, reflect, and investigate our past, present, and future. Reflecting on shared experiences, help us to form identity and better understand people, society, in the world we live in. Our bell reflects our stories — our Stories Tolled.

❤️ Special thank you go to:

The Maguire Museum

The artist Abigail Reeth

Dee Dukes of the Wynnefield Community for her poem
