Church Specialties:
The Duffy Family Business Since 1919

The Duffy family has been a trusted name in the church bell renovation and restoration field for three generations. We started in the church bell business back in 1919 when Joe Duffy, Sr. worked with the historic Meneely Bell Company. Church Specialties is often referred to as “The New England Bellmen”, having served thousands of churches, schools, colleges and universities.

Treating Our Customers as
We Would Like to Be Treated

Just as in the day when Joe Duffy, Sr. represented the Meneely Bell Foundry, the Duffy family and Church Specialties still represents only the finest, most reliable manufacturers. We have built the reputation of our family business by applying the Golden Rule: To treat our customers as we ourselves would like to be treated. As a practical matter, this means that we always seek to provide you with the best solution possible, given your goals and budget, whether we get the privilege of completing your project or not. As a result, we have many longstanding business relationships and repeat customers literally going back generations. We have thousands of installations and references throughout our service region, from Maine to Virginia. You will find that we have worked on many well known historic buildings, nationally and in your local area.
