2012-01-21 - Updated through information submitted by Stephen J. Schnurr. -- The contract for Casavant Opus 2769 was dated May 10, 1962, with completion set for January of 1964. Lawrence Phelps, Casavant's tonal director, visited the cathedral several months before the contract was signed. At that time, he expressed concern over the use of acoustical plaster in the church, requesting that it be painted in a way to seal the pores. Installation and tonal finishing began in January 1964 and was completed by March 5, 1964. Bishop Grutka blessed the organ on Laetare Sunday, March 28, 1965. A recital followed, given by cathedral organist, Richard Forrest Woods. -Database Manager
