The building is being demolished in June of 2022. In a telephone conversation 06/17/22, Sister Regina stated the the organ has been donated and transported to the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles in Gower, Missouri.

Email correspondence from Sister Misericordia of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Aposltes states that the organ is in storage, to be installed in their new monastery which is to be constructed in Ava, Missouri. Planning for the new monastery is currently (June 2022) underway; the sisters hope to occupy the new site in 2023 or 2024.
