In 1930, Casavant Frères[4] installed the largest pipe organ in Canada in the newly refurbished building.

It has long played an important role in Toronto's Gay and Lesbian community that is centered just to the north at Church and Wellesley.

The church's website describes the building in customary evangelical Protestant terms, regarding the nave rather than the chancel area as its "sanctuary".

The tower was designed to support the addition of bells and their immense weight (over forty four thousand pounds), by having seven-foot thick walls at the base which taper as they go up.

When it was first installed, there was a weekly recital which was widely known in the neighbourhood, and which received a great deal of recognition in the local papers.

These two instruments, the organ and carillon, are an important part of the church’s image and are enjoyed wherever they are heard and especially by the patients of the St. Michael's Hospital.
