NOTES
This church as originally formed in 1885 was Sacred Heart Parish. 
Four years later, the present edifice was begun and named Church 
of St. Patrick.

The organ is of unknown provenance, and was reportedly of questionable 
design and construction even originally. The ravages of time had not 
been kind and the organ required considerable attention to put it into 
a respectable state.

The organ was relocated from England through the Organ Clearing House 
in 1985 with restoration and placement completed in 1987.

The pedalboard may be pushed-in when not in-use.
