2020-06-20 - Replaced in 1973 by 4/99 Casavant Op. 3142; badly damaged by an arsonist fire October 14, 1980 that nearly destroyed the chancel area; what remained of the organ was rebuilt in 1983 by Casavant as a 4/101, functionally displayed across the front of the church to each side of the central window. -Jeff Scofield
