a century later an entirely new ring was ordered. today the central tower houses a ring of twelve bells, plus two additional bells which allow alternative groups of bells to be rung, depending on the number and skill of the ringers available. they were rung for the first time in 1986. seven bells from the 1881 peal now form part of a ring of twelve bells at st francis xavier cathedral in adelaide. the old tenor bell (the moran bell) became the angelus bell and is located in st mary's south-eastern tower. the bells are rung regularly before solemn mass on sundays and on major feast days. they are also rung by arrangement for weddings and funerals and to mark important civic occasions. the bells of st mary's were heard leading the ringing which marked the centenary of australian federation. they are also rung as part of the finale to sydney's symphony in the domain concert in january, in unison with tchaikovsky's 1812 overture. the ringing and care of the bells is entrusted to the st mary's basilica society of change ringers, members of the australian and new zealand association of bellringers.
