Gives some better views of the interior.
Kind regards,

Perhaps they need some new hymnals donated.
It could have been worse, musicwise. It could have been Sing a New Church. Bleh!
I would rather go to confession everyday for a week, walking on my knees for three blocks than listen to “gather us in.”
Frei windows are very well regarded here in StL area. Our local (old German) parish has some as well, in the Belleville IL Diocese.
Hmm. Yes, the music program seems to be rather ..unfortunate. Seems to me they placed their funding in the visual beauty of the church, which certainly has it’s place. Now they need to invest a bunch more in the aural beauty. Imagine how Chant and various polyphonic composers would sound in there!
(Vivaldi, Tallis, others….)
…And, of course, Palestrina!
(I couldn’t think of his name until about 5 seconds AFTER I’d hit the “Post” button. Sheesh!)
Restoring this church also helped restart the organ-making side of the Wicks Organ Company. Here’s a story about the company and creating a new organ for St. Mary’s in Brussels.

Mojoron,
If God willed that you listen to Gather us in and you did so because He willed it, you would gain more merit than choosing to go to confession everyday for a week, walking on your knees for three blocks.
This restored church is absolutely beautiful… it’s so nice to see that they didn’t just start over again with some hideous modern monstrosity (as happened to a gorgeous old Gothic church in my old diocese that got destroyed by a tornado back in the early 80s). Nice to see that it helped a local business too.
