* The renovation of the church in 1993 involved moving the sanctuary to the church's south wall.
This resulted in the blocking of two of the stained glass windows. These two windows depicting
Peter's denial and the unjust condemnation on one window
and the crowning with thorns and the scourging at the pillar on the other
were moved to the chapel/crying room.
