Construction crews from Farrar Associates raise a bell tower truss Nov. 19 at Our Lady of Mercy Chapel and Spiritual Life Center on the Salve Regina campus. The trusses will support housing for three historic American bells that were cast in 1910 at the Meneeley Bell Foundry in Troy, N.Y. Members of the Salve Regina community signed the trusses before they were hoisted into place.
