Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1996. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Renovated Kershaw 1941. Rebuilt and enlarged by Chas. Allman of Carlisle, MA. -Database Manager

2010-06-14 - Updated through online information from David Poile. -- St. Bernard Church has been renamed "Holy Family Parish", probably in 2004. -Database Manager

2018-11-19 - Updated by Gavin Klein, who has heard or played the organ. <br> <br>The organ is located in the loft of the church. It was once interfaced with the church-s Rodgers Electric Organ at one time, but no longer does due to maintenance issues, so now it-s speaks on its own. It is in need of some repairs, but works very well. -Database Manager
