Congress Bell rung by 700

Some 700 parishioners rang the Congress Bell yesterday when it spent a day 'on tour' in Kilcullen and Gormanstown, writes Brian Byrne.

They are among a quarter of a million people who have rung the bell—the rallying symbol for the Eucharistic Congress 2012—since it began a 'pilgrimage' around the country on St Patrick's Day last year.

A unique highlight was a small drama performed by Bernard Berney and Vivian Clarke, based on the Interrogation of Jesus by Herod. It was written by James Healy.
