Notes
This organ is installed on a ledge along the left side of the sanctuary. The Great and Pedal are exposed and the Swell is enclosed behind.

The 1' Siffl`te is an extension of the 2' Block Fl`te. And while it has 12 pipes for the extension, the pitch breaks back to 2' at g# 56 for the last 5 notes. The Great III-IV Mixtur is only III-ranks for the first 12 notes, then becomes IV-ranks.

The organ was dedicated by Sr. Mary Lorraine Therese Miller, S.S.M.O. on Sunday, May 17, 1970.
