June 2009
In June 2009, members of the Archdiocese rang the Bell of Peace at the Demilitarized Zone (South Korean side) at its hourly ringing. The bell is rung during main daytime hours, seven times every hour on the hour. The bell stands as a symbol for peace in the Korean peninsula, in Asia, and in the world.
