Rev. Dennis F. Sheehan, the church's seniorchaplain, emphasized his enthusiasm for the bells'refurbishment.
"When I was at [the University of] Notre Dame, I lived next door to the church, and the bells rang all through the night, so I have sympathy," he said.
Following in the footsteps of Memorial Church, St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church--which neighbors the river Houses--has started ringing its bells every fifteen minutes from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.
The bells began chiming two weeks ago. They were restored to their original sonorousness after more than 20 years of neglect, during which both the church's clock and the bells ceased to function.
"It's a hassle," said John A. Height '00 of Quincy House. "Most of the time it's really bad...I could have handled [the bells] on the hour, but every fifteen minutes doesn't help."
