2022-03-01 - M. P. Moller Opus 5563 was installed in St. Clement's Church in Chicago in 1929. By the mid-1970's the organ had become unusable, and the parish decided to replace it. St. Cajetan Church purchased the organ from St. Clement's. In September of 1982, 10 volunteers from St. Cajetan (including a priest and the director of music) worked with Prairie Organ Company to dismantle and remove the instrument. The rebuilt organ (with very modest additions) was dedicated on the occasion of a recital at St. Cajetan by Sister Marie Juan Maney, O.P., on Sunday, April 21, 1985. -Ronald Damholt
