On Monday morning, October 22nd at 7:30 a five man work crew from Patrick Murphy & Associates started the process of removing and packing up our organ as this major renovation begins. As you can see from the pictures, this was careful and meticulous work; notice the unique lift used to remove the various pipes from the choir loft down to the ground floor.
Pipe Sponsorships: information and cards found in the back of the church. While many of us have Masses said for deceased family members or friends, the organ restoration offers another alternative. For as little as $50.00 you can sponsor a pipe in the organ in their memory. All sponsors and those memorialized will be listed in the dedication event program, and listed in the organ historical information book to be held in the church museum and library.
Pipe Sponsorship donations can be made online, or by using the donation/pledge cards found in the church. Sponsorship books are also available!
Our organ's history begins in 1799 when the Krauss brothers built the oldest parts of our organ and its casework.
Over the years, the organ has been significantly modified by many organ builders. Having been in a state of severe disrepair for some time, a major organ project was needed.
