Welcome to the Annunciation Church
Deus Providebit, God Provides
The bell has stamped on it “BUCKEYE BELL FOUNDRY 1912”
and “THE E. W. VANUZEN CO. CINCINNATI”.
Engraved on the bell is "U.I.O.G.D.; Ave Maria; Bogalusa, 1912.
U.I.O.G.D. is used to remind us to live the motto of the great St. Benedict. His motto in Latin is: Ut In Omnibus Glorificetur Deus. When translated into English, it says:
THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED.
Rudy Penton is refurbishing the Bell and it’s housing on June 19, 2019. He has reworked the wooden wheel and the “A” frame and the timbers and the rope.
