The building is open daily for visitors who wish to spend time in reflection or admire the architecture. Regular events and concerts are held here, so checking ahead can help plan a visit around activities of interest.
The church houses six bells that create a notably full and resonant sound, which surprises many visitors when they ring. This bell installation is recognized among those who study bell craft and campanology.
