Mike Sowa on August 3rd, 2023:

Not all pipework in the organ today is original Kilgen pipework. Some Kilgen ranks were removed or are now playing at different pitches and some new pipe ranks were added to the organ throughout the years.


Mike Sowa on July 21st, 2020:

Refurbishment of the organ has been completed in Summer 2020.


Mike Sowa on April 27th, 2020:

Updated through online information from Matthew J. Geda. -- This organ has been lovingly worked on and is very well taken care of. Its sound fills its incredibly large church with ease.


Database Manager on May 12th, 2010:

Updated through on-line information from Joe Holden. -- Severe water damage in 2005 forced parish to rebuild entire swell division; organ occupies significant amount of rear gallery, though allowing freedom to work in chamber since most of the organ is raised above gallery floor; organ was reportedly dormant for long periods ('60s-'70s) while the parish used an electric organ--- parts of that electric organ were left behind in the large exposed great division of the chamber.


Database Manager on June 26th, 2009:

Identified through on-line information from Joe Holden. -- The organ was refurbished in the late '90s. The entire console was overhauled and redesigned.
