nah! they didnt salvage the communion rail.
I dont think the salvaged the original marble. The altar feel through the floor durring the fire so that wasnt salvageable. The walls are pretty much white washed except the ceiling which is painted nicely. I was told it was painted to look like the ceiling of the original.
oh they did salvage the crucifix too. The stort goes that once the firemen realized they couldnt control the fire in the roof, they turned it into a salvage operation and took as many things out of the chuch as quickly as possible.
My parish, epiphany of our lord in plymouth meeting is actually replacing the "crayola crayon" looking stained windows and putting in new ones. They look really good! They are replacing the pulpit and ambo as well.
I heard they even want to redo the tabernacle and make it look more ornate which would improve the "modern refrigerator" look haha.
