The church's altar is featured prominently in the film's final scenes. The church also appears in the movie Constantine. The church was also featured in the Warrant video "The Bitter Pill" (acoustic version), with lead singer Jani Lane performing the song in front of and around the church. The church was also featured in the Charmed episode "When Bad Warlocks Turn Good"; furthermore the church is visible in the Madonna's music video of "God Control", and some parts of it in her video of "Dark Ballet".
