The Johnstown Kennedy Bell was donated to the Church of the Holy Family in Rathcoole to mark the church’s Silver Jubilee.
During the celebrations, the late Tom Cullen was invited to ring the bell for the first time. It was far from a first for Tom as he had been tasked with ringing the bell on a daily basis when it was in use on the Johnstown Kennedy estate, and had been the last man to do so before it was removed.
