Timbers from the destroyed church were made into the communion rail and the large wooden cross on the west wall, and given in memory of Angus McAllister Jr., a parishioner who died in Vietnam. The Altar was built by a parishioner, Estele LaCosta, and contributed as a memorial to her brother, Paul LaCosta. Each of the candle holders, the missal stand, and the Altar cross, were given to the church over the years as memorials to parishioners.
Many of the memorial plaques which had graced the walls of the destroyed church were salvaged and were placed on the walls of the (post Camille) church. These plaques were in memory of distinguished members of the Confederacy who were regular attendants at divine service in the church during their residence in Biloxi. Among those so remembered were Lt. General Alexander P. Stewart, who after the war, served as Chancellor for the University of Mississippi before coming to Biloxi to live; Brigadier General Joseph Davis, a Postmaster in Biloxi for many years; and Brigadier General Samuel W. Ferguson who received the keys to Fort Sumpter, after it's capture by Southern forces.
The church prior to August 29, 2005 (Hurricane Katrina) consisted of the original church (moved to the site in 1891) which served as the transept of the church, the nave, narthex, nursery, and the bereavement room having been added prior to 1948: DeMiller Hall, just north of the church, was built ca 1989 and is named in memory of the Rev. E. A. DeMiller who served as Rector for 38 years commencing in 1921. In addition to being the center of many parish affairs such as guild meetings, social events, and study groups, it housed a day-school, the church offices, and contained a small chapel.
On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina came to visit Biloxi with 140 MPH winds and a 28-33 foot storm surge. Katrina devistated much of south Mississippi. The Church building, belltower and rectory were all destroyed. DeMiller Hall was heavily damaged.
