2021-04-23 - This was the refurbishing and installation of a used organ which Moller had taken partly in-trade against the cost of a new organ. The New York City Organ Project website states, *"The Agreement dated July 11, 1917 between M. P. Möller and Mary Help of Christians R.C. Church shows that Möller agreed to install a second-hand organ for a consideration of $1050 (the cost underwritten by the Society of St. Anne). This organ was originally built by an unknown builder for St. John Nepomucene R.C. Church (Slovak) in Freeland, Pa. When the Freeland church purchased a new Möller organ (ca.1917, Op. 2277), their old organ was acquired by Möller. The organ was rebuilt by Möller and equipped with an electric blower. Möller provided a 30-note pedalboard although the pedal ranks had only 27 pipes. The fate of this organ is unknown."* -Jim Stettner
2021-04-23 - The parish closed in 2007, but continued to offer weekly hispanic services. It was slated for demolition in 2012. Appeals to the Diocese, Landmarks Commission, and Mayor fell on deaf ears. The fate of the organ is unknown. -Jim Stettner
