Evidence that appears to corroborate the bell's Frog Lake origin was discovered by the CBC in 2014. The Frog Lake bell was misidentified as being from Batoche in a centennial yearbook published by a local historical society in 1967. A series of handwritten certificates and notes indicate that the original Batoche bell was donated in 1937 to another Catholic mission in St. Laurent de Grandin, about from Batoche. That church burned down in 1990, destroying the bell except its clapper and a few pieces of copper. The church was rebuilt, and the bell's fragments are kept in the new church's shrine in a locked glass case.
