Notes

2011-07-05 - The organ is a combination of pipes from a Wicks instrument at Cadillac UMC, new and used pipes from Lauck Pipe Organ Company, and pipes that were already at St. Mary's. The console is a Klann and was part of an Electro-Voice organ the church installed in 1977. -Database Manager
