Description of the organ from the 'Music' page of the church website, "A contract for a new organ was signed with the Patrick J. Murphy Organ Co., who was challenged to keep the best of the existing instrument, but also to update its tonal palette and its functionality. The older Austin stops were returned to their original voicing – the thinner reeds of 1961 were replaced with reeds of deeper tones and color – an enlarged and more expressive Swell Box was installed – the tonal scheme of the entire organ was filled out with new stops – functioning pipe facades were installed, harkening back to the original 1904 installation – and a new state-of-the-art console was designed to control the entire organ. The new organ was installed throughout the summer of 2013 and the instrument was formally dedicated on November 2, 2013."
