This view from the choir loft shows the focus given to the new altar and the ambo.
During Mass the celebrant presides from the chair to the right of the altar.
The choir or ensemble serves from the front, to the left of the altar. In this view, Director Carl, Flautist Kathleen, and Pianist Sue are gathered around the grand piano.
The old altar remains in place as a part of our heritage.
The tabernacle on the old altar is still in use
The church has seating for 460 people, but it seems cramped to me if more than about 350 attend a service.
The weekend schedule includes one Mass on Saturday afternoon and three Masses on Sunday morning. A traditional choir sings at the 9:00 am Mass and the ensemble sings at the 11:00 Mass.
