Notes
2007-10-16 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager
2021-10-27 - By September of 1899 the church was completed sufficiently so that Mass could be celebrated there. The organ originally used in the new church was a parlor melodeon.
The architect chosen to design the new church was Mr. Roland A. Boyle, who was noted for his Catholic Institutional buildings. The style of the structure was to be Romanesque with a seating capacity of five hundred. The work on the Church was completed in June of 1925.

The estey appears to have been contracted whilst the building was under construction. -Paul R. Marchesano
