The view from afar

St. Mary's is located at the highest point in Nanticoke. Almost: the highest point is directly across the street, on the sidewalk in front of a private house. The commanding position gives the sense of being part of a model train layout. It also allows its bells to be heard throughout the city, with a distinct pattern heard at noon and at Mass time: starting out with two bells rung simultaneously, then gradually slipping out of sync into two separate tolls, then moving back into sync and fading out. The bells also once rang the hour throughout the day. I do not think those bells ring any longer.
