Notes

2023-02-13 - Originally a 1964 Wicks II/21 located in the balcony. Milnar Organ Company (1975) moved all behind the altar. Much of the organ was destroyed in a tornado on November 15, 1989. Milnar Organ Company built a new console, Great chests, Pedal chests and casework. The Swell chests and all the pipes were retained. The church roof was torn off by the tornado but no one was seriously injured. -John Lucianno
