The St. Thomas of Villanova Laetate Ringers recently attended the Handbell Musicians of America Area 2 “Spring Ring” held in Bryn Mawr. Under the expert direction of handbell clinician Kathy Ebling Shaw, our ringers joined with other choirs, learning new techniques and honing their skills. The day concluded with a mini-concert of the pieces which they’ve been learning since January for the occasion. Congratulations to our bell team for their efforts and accomplishment, and thanks to Father Joe for his support in this endeavor.

The Laetate (meaning “Rejoice”) Ringers, our parish Handbell Choir, is open to all ages.  We rehearse in Rosemont Chapel on  Thursdays at 7:15.  
​Pictured to the right -
Director of our Laetate Ringers, Elaine Zajano, 

recently traveled to Holland, Michigan to study the British
four-in-hand ringing technique with expert ringers
Carla and Larry Sue. Using this skill enables as few as two
ringers to play a complete piece! Elaine is thrilled to have
had this opportunity, and looks forward to passing on
what she has learned to members of Laetate.

​The beauty of the bronze bells and the ethereal tone of handchimes remind us that the beauty of God is very much with us in this world, and we offer our music as our prayer and as an effort to lift the hearts of our fellow worshippers.  

We play at Masses for Christmas and Easter, as well as periodically throughout the year and at special events such as Lessons and Carols. For information, please contact Director Elaine Zajano.
