Notes

2018-04-04 - Built in 1923 for First Presbyterian Church, Stamford, Connecticut. Moved in 2006 to The Presbyterian Church, Dover, Delaware. In 2018, acquired by St. Thomas More Catholic University Parish and Student Center, Norman, Oklahoma. -Database Manager

2020-05-14 - Updated through online information from Kyle Arthur. -- The organ for the new church will be the E.M. Skinner, Opus 422. It had originally been shown as being with the American Organ Institute as they were going to do the rebuild. But they closed and never actually possessed the organ. It is currently awaiting rebuilding. -Jim Stettner

2021-06-18 - As of June, 2021 the organ is under contract for renovation by Schantz. Installation expected by Holy Week 2022. -Kyle Arthur

2023-02-07 - Intallation completed in June 2022. Extremely original Skinner. Addition of tromba rank and replacement of the bottom six pipes of the 16' Diapason. Dedication recital played by Nathan Laube in October 2022. -Kyle Arthur
