Notes
2022-08-03 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified via email from Denise Scammon on August 2, 2022.
The church had been built in response to the need to divide SS. Peter and Paul Parish (before it became the Basilica). Other Franco-American parishes were also built. St. Mary's was completed in 1927, and served until 2000, whereafter it was acquired by the Franco-American Heritage Center, a performing arts venue. -Jim Stettner
