2016-10-18 - Updated through online information from William M. Worden: From the FaceBook page of organist Aaron Kaleniecki: with Rick Helderop. Very excited to announce that we formally signed the contract with Covenant Organs for the restoration and installation of our new Pipe Organ at St. Patrick Church in White Lake. Essentially, we saved 2 1930's era Kilgen Organs from Detroit (1929) and Boston (1934) and are combining them to make one grand instrument. ... The main organ is from St. Benedict Catholic Church in Highland Park, (now New Harvest Ministries) and the Choir Organ is from St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church (formerly Immaculate Conception Catholic Church) in Cambridge Mass. ... -Database Manager
