Parishioners say the event was a way for the congregation to celebrate the hard work that went in to completing the sanctuary's ceiling so that the church could reopen.
The church has been open for a month, and parishioners say they are excited to be able to come together and celebrate.
The completion of the ceiling is just one phase of the nearly $10 million restoration project being done at the historical church.
The next phase includes restoring the windows and making the church more ADA-accessible.
