In a symbolic moment that marks significant progress in the renovation of Christ Cathedral, the massive doors were opened one last time before being permanently sealed. The reason for the permanent closure is to maintain optimum climate control inside the cathedral. The Hazel Wright Organ, which was restored and is now being stored in an Irvine warehouse, scheduled for reassembly in late 2018, requires a dust-free environment. The closure of the doors will assure that birds, dust and debris will not interfere with the organ and that the sanctuary is further protected against the elements.
