DETAILS
This instrument is: ExtantandPlayable in this location
Updated by Jonathan Gier, who has heard or played the organ. Further details and stoplist available on the Berghaus website. Was very familiar with the sound of the instrument since I was a cantor from 2004-2009!

Updated by Jonathan Gier, who has heard or played the organ.
The organ case was built using some of the original wood from the church interior. The instrument is encased fully in an \"all-in-one\" unit with the console in the center. I received this information from a trusted friend, Tom Carroll, who was present both at the time of the church renovation and when the organ was built about 10 years later. I was a cantor at St. Francis for about 5 years. The organ is played regularly for at least 3 weekend liturgies and occasionally during the week for funerals, weddings, and other services.
