This entry represents the reinstallation of an existing organ in a new location and for a new owner. Identified through online infomation from Fr. Robert Scheiblhofer. The Lewis organ was originally built for St. Barnabas Episcopal Church of Omaha, Nebraska and contained pipework from that parish's previous 1921 Pilcher. When St. Barnabas - which had since become a Catholic parish - got a used Casavant organ - the Lewis organ was given to Holy Family as a gift.
