Excerpt from the St. Alphonsus Parish Anniversary Book from 1977:

The organ "situation" was finally settled by a conference with the Archbishop. The electronic organ would have to go, and the price of the pipe organ was not to excede $30,000. The Wicks Company promised to have the organ installed in "nine or ten months." The console was to be placed on the east side of the church to enable the organist to face the congregation for group singing; the pipe organ itself was to be built in the old choir loft to make the pipes "accessible for tuning and maintence."

As of January 9th, 2021, all the pipes are still in place, and speakers for the current Rodgers Organ are behind some of the larger pipes in the facade.

Updated by Gerald Furi, who has heard or played the organ.

Pipework in rear gallery, 2m console in front nave on main floor. The coax cable connecting the front console to the rear gallery was cut sometime in the last 10 years, and the console later removed; the pipework and freestanding swell box remain on the gallery, and the church now has a Rodgers electronic down front.
