2014-07-18 - Updated through online information from Matthew Walsh. -- There is a duplicate console in main body of the church, approximately one half way between the gallery and the sanctuary. This placement occurred in the 1950's when the church was doubled in length. In approx. 2003, the downstairs console was rotated to face the west wall. Between 2003 and 2007 the organ, except the offsets, was releathered. During the same time, reregulation and some revoicing was done by Schoenstein. In 2003 Schoenstein added a large trumpet unit stop and a four rank great mixture. In 2007, the reconfiguring the facade was completed by parish carpenters and a new 8' pedal principal was placed in the west facade, with non-speaking pipes in the east facade. This statement is based on my inspection of the organ and some of the contract documents from the parish files which I am able to access by my position of Director of Music at St. Monica's. -Database Manager
