The organ we have is truly a work of art. Installed when the church was built, the music it creates contributes to the beauty of the Mass. At a time where many newer churches are opting not to purchase and install organs, caring for ours has become even more necessary, so that we can anticipate a future full of beautiful hymns, music, and accompaniment as well as ensuring its historical preservation.
