Updated through online information from Robert Whitaker (October 24, 2024): This organ is now located in the Saint Thomas Aquinas Chapel at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, Saint Meinrad, Indiana.

Jim Stettner on December 25th, 2021:
Updated through online information from Susan Ferré. --* I began talking with Gabriel Kney in 1978, when the church signed the contract. It was delivered in April of 1980, and I played the dedication in December, 1980, following extensive work on the balcony. It cost the church $148,000, has 27 stops, electric solid state stop action, mechanical key action, estimated weight is 8,000 lbs, the case 7 1/2' wide and 4' 11" deep, height 20 '. It definitely has a French classic accent.*

Susan Ferre on November 15th, 2021:
The church building may be sold, and the organ put up for sale.
