On Wednesday 2nd July, Fr. Paul, the Rector of All Saints' Church, Hillington Square, 'baptised' and anointed a Sanctus bell which is to hang in the re-constructed bell-cote on the roof, at the east end of the nave of the church.

The Service followed an ancient rite used for the blessing or consecration and naming of bells which are used in Christian worship. The bell was 'baptised' Gabriel (which means the voice of God), and following the ceremony he was raised to the bell-cote where he will be struck to announce the elevations of the Blessed Sacrament during the Mass and also to accompany the thrice daily recitation of the Angelus, which reminds us of Jesus Christ's incarnation.
