2022-02-02 - According to John DeMajo at neworleanschurches.com, "The organ installed in [the present] church is made up of Zimmer and Sons Opus 177 which is a three manual, 16 rank instrument. The organ was relocated across the street from the original wooden church. At the time of the relocation, a new console was installed, and a Reuter organ was incorporated into the instrument bringing it to a total of 32 ranks." -Jeff Scofield
