A gift from the Irving Gilmore Foundation covered the price of the organ. The Positif stands on the chancel floor, the Grand-Orgue and the smaller ranks of the Pedale are located above the console, and the Recit is centered above the Grand-Orgue. The organ was dedicated on March 4, 1988, with Martin Haselböck at the console. -Database Manager
