Notes

2004-10-30 - French church. New console O. Jacques, St. Hyacinthe, Quebec in 1939. -Database Manager

2010-03-29 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2019-06-18 - Updated by Brian Mattias, who has heard or played the organ. The organ is not playable. It needed rebuilding years ago. There were too many ciphers which rendered it unplayable. A former pastor decided that since they were not going to rebuild it, they would dispose of the console and put an old Allen in its place which was acquired when the parish merged with St. James. Presently the organ is intact and hibernating without a console. -Database Manager
