Notes

2021-08-25 - Identified from a Note on the previous Casavant OHS Database listing. Verified by phone conversation 8-25-2021 between OHS Database editor James R. Stettner and Covenant Organs founder, Rick Helderup. -Jim Stettner

2021-08-25 - This was the combining and installation of two used Kilgen organs. The twin large cases are from Opus 4316, 1929 originally built for St. Benedict R.C. Church in Highland Park (Detroit), Michigan. The smaller organ case and pipes at the right are from Opus 5452, 1935 originally built for St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church (formerly, Immaculate Conception Catholic Church) in Cambridge Mass. -Jim Stettner

2023-01-30 - Updated through online information from William Worden, *"From the FaceBook page of organist Aaron Kaleniecki: with Rick Helderop. Very excited to announce that we formally signed the contract with Covenant Organs for the restoration and installation of our new Pipe Organ at St. Patrick Church in White Lake. Essentially, we saved two 1930's era Kilgen Organs from Detroit (1929) and Boston (1935) and are combining them to make one grand instrument. ... The main organ is from St. Benedict Catholic Church in Highland Park, (now New Harvest Ministries) and the Choir Organ is from St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church (formerly Immaculate Conception Catholic Church) in Cambridge Mass." * -Jim Stettner
