NOTES
This Moller was originally built for St. Mary's R.C. in Butte, which
ceased operations in the mid 1980's, and became the headquarters and
gift shop for the Association called Our Lady of the Rockies - named
after the large statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking the city of Butte
from the East.

The organ was removed from St. Marys by Balcom and Vaughan, rebuilt
with new Peterson solid state components, the pipework cleaned and
re-regulated, etc. It was reinstalled at St. John the Evangelist in
1985 in a chamber on the left side of the chancel/altar. The chimes
are across the chancel on the right side.

The four ranks were originally called: Diapason, Lieblich Gedeckt,
Viole Dolce, and Oboe.
