Notes

2010-12-02 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Merged with three other parishes on August 29, 1998, to become All Saints Parish, using the St. Joseph's facility. -Database Manager

2012-09-20 - Updated through online information from Fr. George Hafemann. -- This organ is a superb period Casavant. It is tonally and mechanically unaltered. In the fall of 2011, Daniel Kingman and Fred MacArthur tuned the organ top to bottom (it hadn't been touched in years). While there are several dead notes, and the organ is in need of a thorough cleaning and releathering, it fills the room beautifully. -Database Manager

2016-05-22 - Updated through online information from Mark Pichowicz. <br>The original blower motor was repaired in 1999. The SW and CH was releathered by the Morel Co. in 2003. The organ was entirely cleaned, GT and PED releathered, and console combination action repaired in 2013 by Pichowicz. This instrument is entirely original and in excellent playing condition. -Database Manager
