2015-12-22 - The organ was located in the gallery; it was damaged beyond repair in 1975 due to smoke and heat damage caused by a fire in the front of the church; it was replaced in 1976 by 2/12 Wicks Op. 5574 that was located above the altar. -Database Manager
2024-05-13 - The organ was designed by the organist Carroll Thomas Andrews, a graduate of the Gregorian Institute. He also played the dedication recital. The organ was placed in a rear gallery with Great and Choir in one enclosure and the Swell in the other. The Great Octave 4' was unenclosed. The organ was both an inventive multum-in-parvo small instrument and curiously retro with no chorus upperwork, mixture, or any stops above 4' pitch except the Choir flute chorus--a Positiv of sorts. The Pedal, all borrowed, was luxurious for such a small instrument, as was the English Swell reed chorus. Given the state of Catholic church music of the day, an organ needed to be primarily a vehicle for choir accompaniment, provide soft atmospheric effects to enhance quiet portions of the Mass, and make a suitable grandeur for ceremonial music. In keeping with Kilgen custom, the organ would have had everything to everywhere couplers at 16, 8 and 4. -Scot Huntington
