St. John’s Carrillon
St. John’s is blessed with a 35-bell Eijsbouts carillon that proclaims God’s praise throughout our neighborhood. This Carillon was given to the parish by the Mr. and Mrs. George Henderson Family in 1969.
In the past, parishioners from a variety of ages have learned to play the carillon and have performed on it regularly.
