Meet the Business Owner

Robert S.

Business Owner

As the founding pastor of The Church of Holy Apostles, Father Robert N. Sherry instituted the parish with the tenet of being a welcoming parish. The Parish Mission Proclamation is «The Church of Holy Apostles seeks to be a family of compassionate people sharing God’s love through worship and sacraments, education, fellowship and service. You are welcome.» As a direct extension of this guiding principle, Bell Tower Gifts & Books was opened to offer the resources to educate, inspire and equip people on their spiritual journeys. We are «open to spread the Word.» Please stop in and browse our peaceful and inviting store!
