This was the church used for filming the exterior shots in the movie "Home Alone." Interior shots were at Grace Episcopal, Oak Park.

Updated by Chad Boorsma -- The organ was part of a program of building improvements in the late 1990's. The congregation decided to retire their existing pipe organ, a much small instrument that had served the church for 70 years. Chamber openings were enlarged and twin facades were designed to enhance the church's Gothic Revival architecture. Project consultant was Scott R. Riedel and Associates, Ltd.
