From a .pdf *Parish Visitor's Guide* available on the parish website, "In June of 1927, the original organ at St. Joseph played its last note. It was replaced with a fine two manual Kilgan [sic] organ at a cost of $3600. This same organ is in the church today. In 1983 the organ was updated and refurbished."
