The four cantilevered supports of the free standing balcony extend through the lower church and deep into the ground under the church.

As you pass from the baptistry into the church, the confessionals are located on either side of the doorway.

Looking to the exterior piers of the church, you will see grey square blocks of granite with a cross. They serve as a visible reminder that this building has been solemnly dedicated to God. On the anniversary of the dedication of the church, which is observed on October 24, candles are placed on these stones to mark this annual celebration.

Along the west side aisle, you will approach the shrine to Our Lady. This chapel contains a twelfth- century wood carving of the Madonna and Child in a pose traditionally called the Throne of Wisdom. This figure was given to Saint John's Abbey by a generous friend.

The pipework of the Holtkamp organ is behind the large red screen at the back of the sanctuary. This view shows part of the positive and the swell box.

This instrument was designed and built by Walter Holtkamp, Sr. It comprises sixty-four ranks in four divisions: great, swell, positive and pedal. The swell is under expression. The entire organ is under 2 3/4 inches of wind pressure.
