This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their service, bravery, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten.

At Tower Clocks USA and Bell Foundry Christoph, we honor the legacy of those who served and reflect with gratitude on the cost of liberty. May the sound of every bell serve as a reminder of the heroes who gave so much for generations to come.

We remember. We honor. 🇺🇸

Based on conversations with the leadership of St. Joseph Seminary, Carillon Consultant and Designer Stan Christoph, President of Bell Foundry Christoph, selected a three-bell harmonic peal consisting of the musical notes A, C #, and E. A harmonic peal produces a bright, inspiring, and celebratory sound that is especially well suited for the Seminary grounds. The bells will serve many purposes, including calling Seminarians to Mass, marking celebratory occasions, sounding funeral tolls, and providing clock chimes and hour strikes.

The bells will soon be installed with handmade woven bell ropes, allowing them to be manually swung individually or all together. In addition, the system will include electromagnetic bell strikers and an automated control system to provide scheduled clock chimes and hour strikes.

The bells weigh approximately 1,000 pounds for the A bell, 585 pounds for the C # bell, and 320 pounds for the E bell. Despite their substantial size, they are being installed within one of the smallest bell chamber spaces we have worked with for a project of this scale. Achieving this precise fit requires careful coordination between the structural design, our detailed 3D CAD drawings, and the expertise of our technicians.

This installation will be a beautiful and meaningful addition to the Seminary campus, and we are honored to have played a role in bringing this project to life.

After months of careful planning and dedicated repairs, the bell tower comes alive once again!

This beautiful project has an interesting backstory as the basis for the sculptural design of this tower feature was the brainchild of Augustana Emeritus Professor of Art Steve Thomas; our part was to make modest adjustments to the structure to accommodate musically tuned cast bronze bells. This bell sculpture stands at the top of the campus green, near to the recently renovated and expanded chapel; the campus green gently slopes downward toward the football stadium several hundred yards away. The bells will ring out a Westminster clock chime and hour strikes, and peals for celebratory occasions, and for liturgical bell rings too.

The sculpture will be 48' tall and the largest bell is nearly 1500 lbs.

We’re pleased to create this project and look forward to hearing bells ring on this strikingly beautiful campus for the enjoyment of all who hear.

Tucked away in the rafters, where history still echoes… 🔔

This beautiful bronze bell sits proudly in its frame, surrounded by the character of old timber and time-worn beams. You can almost hear the stories it’s told over the years—the calls, the celebrations, the moments that brought people together.

There’s something special about seeing a bell like this up close… not just as an instrument, but as a piece of craftsmanship and tradition that still stands strong.
