In solidarity with our brothers and sisters, I have encouraged the parishes of the Archdiocese of Boston to ring the bells of their churches at 2:00 PM on Saturday,” Henning said.

The bells at Notre Dame are ringing again in Paris. More than five years after the devastating fire damaged the 861-year-old cathedral, the restored bells tolled in the French capital on November 8, 2024.

In a social media post, the USCCB wrote that as the cathedral reopens its doors, “local churches in the U.S. are invited to peal their bells in a gesture of unity.”
