Kyle R. Medeiros, Director of Music/Organist on July 22nd, 2020:
The organ was returned to Newport in April of 2017 after being sent back to Casavant in Canada. A new facade and case was designed to match the beautifule Gothic structure of St Mary's. On June 5th a Festival of Pipes event was held to premiere the pipe organ sound and to showcase the restoration of the choir loft. The organ is maintained at least twice a year.
