Updated through online information from Tommy Holtmeier (July 8, 2025). The organ is now completed and will make its grand debut this coming weekend (July 12 and 13, 2025). The original instrument has been expanded to 66 ranks with over 3400 pipes.
Jim Stettner on April 18th, 2024:
This entry represents the moving, rebuilding, and installation of a used instrument. The Von Beckerath was originally built for the University of Houston in the organ recital hall of their Fine Arts Center. Identified by St. Lawrence Catholic Church Music Director, John W. Valentine, who writes: "Its going to be totally different from its original state at the University. We are adding 21-ranks, and removing the Positiv and placing it on the gallery rail."
Jim Stettner on February 7th, 2024:
