2021-05-06 - Ca. 2016 the sanctuary was extensively renovated with the rear of the nave now becoming the front; Cornel Zimmer Organ Builders removed the organ prior to the renovation and then reconfigured and reinstalled the organ in its new location, adding a new 3-manual console that is prepared for additions. -Jeff Scofield
