Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2023-04-30 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from the Wicks opus list. Corroborated by the church's 75th Diamond Jubilee Souvenir Book (1957), which states, *"April 17, 1955 the parish had one particular reason for rejoicing, the Rev. Pastor purchased a new pipe organ, a Wicks organ, one of the very best in the line of producing clear melodic tones. The generosity of the parishioners made this purchase possible and was very gratifying. Some gave more others less but the majority made it possible that the new organ be installed and ready to be used in praising God."* *"The blessing of the new organ took place Sept. 12th, 1955 the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary. The Rev. Pastor with his assistants the Rev. S. Kaminski and the Rev. J. Perkowski solemnly blessed the organ. The organist Mr. Raymond Wozniak played a few concert solos and finally the grade school choir under his direction sang songs to Mary the Mother of God."* A dedication plaque listing all donors of $250.00 and $500.00 was fastened to the organ case. -Jim Stettner
