Every year the Saint John’s community in Collegeville, MN cuts a large evergreen tree from its Arboretum to install in the Great Hall. Students, faculty, staff, monastics, and family members alike have often wondered, “How do you get such a HUGE tree into the church without taking the roof off and dropping it in?!” The answer: you pull it in!Hat tip to Spirit Daily on this one!

Looks the great used to be a great Church.
Fr. James---I am proud to call St. John's University and Abbey my Alma Mater. Yes the Great Hall was once the Abbey Church. It came to be the Great Hall when the New Abbey Church and Monastic Choir were built.
BTW, That scene is done every year, and it's a (ahem) challenge.
