Updated through online information from Kristina Powers. -- Recently visited the parish in July 2012 and inquired the church caretaker about the organ. He said that although it is being restored and used occasionally, it is rarely used due to its condition, and the small electric organ on the main floor will continue to be regularly used until the restoration is complete. The caretaker also informed me that the organ was last played for a wedding that took place a week before my visit to the parish.

Updated through online information from Kristina Powers. -- Was recently visiting the parish, which is under massive restoration. The organ and choir loft housing it was totally covered. A look at the parish website demonstrates that a restoration is going on.

According to Wicks contract, all Johnson pipework was incorporated. Compass 61/32. Floating Sanctuary organ (not playing in 1996). Console in 1996 has William Delle nameplate, but remains basically as the Wicks organ.
