Note from the CWN Editor:The organizers of the Paris Olympic Games have donated the 2024 Olympic Bell to the Notre-Dame Cathedral. It is a bronze bell that weighs 495 kilos.

“A few months ago, we were approached by the Paris organizing committee to ask if we were interested in having this bell for Notre Dame,” said Father Olivier Ribadeau Dumas, the cathedral’s rector. “And we accepted this proposal.”

The cathedral, which was hit by a devastating fire in 2019, is expected to reopen on December 8.
