The San Pedro bell was returned to its original home at Saints Peter and Paul Parish Church today after it was taken, as war booty, by American soldiers in 1901 to a Roman Catholic at West Point Academy in New York USA.

Bishop Rodolfo F. Beltran of Diocese of San Fernando, La Union, blessed the San Pedro Bell during the Welcome Ceremony at Sts. Peter and Paul Church in Bauang, La Union.
