Today, Saint Mary's is known for its solemn liturgies and choral and organ music.
Solemn High Mass and Solemn Evensong and Benediction are celebrated on Sundays, and Mass is offered daily.
Because of the copious use of incense, the church is sometimes referred to as "Smoky Mary's".
In 1996-97, the interior of the church was restored by J. Lawrence Jones & Associates, resulting in vivid colors, including cobalt blue vaulting with gold stars.
