An amazing venture of faith by the traditional Catholic people of St. Mary’s, Kansas. Pictures on the internet of the now-completed interior are available on the internet. It also has a magnificent pipe organ, originally a 1966 Aeolian Skinner—one of the greatest of American firms, now sadly no longer extant—moved, installed, and revoiced by the reputable American builder, Quimby (20 ranks, 35 stops, 3 manuals & pedal). The church is said to have 5 seconds of reverberation time! Outstanding for chant and Catholic hymnody. See:
Thank you, Zephyrinus:
