I just noticed LAV Splitter and FFDshow Audio Decoder got stuck in the tray after playing the quarter chime (they're set to handle MP3 files). Could be my system's fault. Or not.
MIDI is quite powerful and may be able to (almost) duplicate the bell chimes and other sounds but needs to be handled by someone experienced; unfortunately I'm not, although I fooled around with the 'Klavier hero' script some time ago. Maybe someone else will take a stab at it, just for kicks.
I'm not sure why bible quotes are tied with the chimes, in the first place. At most that should be optional. While audio chimes may be disturbing during certain time intervals, visual cues such as quotes could still be displayed when user so desires or they may have their own show/hide interval. Therefore, in my opinion the two should be separated and quotes should allow any time interval from a quarter hour to 24 hours plus specifying the daily start time, and also when 24h is selected allow specifying whether to start at a fixed or random time.
Having holidays in a LV could further allow for a detailed description of each of them when selected. Like a brief history of when/how it first happened, the meaning of it and so on. May be useful for (religious) beginners.
Stretching forward, if you do decide to make it a full-blown calendar it may be nice to have icons for each saint, displayed on their celebration, plus generic icons for other celebrations. Even more stretching, it would be very useful for absent-minded people like me to have user-defined pictures displayed on such celebrations (like St. Andrew's, St. John's, St. Nicholas' etc) to remember who to call and congratulate.

There, you got your plate full of suggestions. Take your pick and stick your fork in them.
