This grand pipe organ is relied upon for each major liturgy, including all appearances on Catholic TV and network TV. In the last year, it has been heard by millions of viewers from all over the globe. Its mechanical needs are deeply pressing, however, with parts dating back to 1875 and electronics to the 1920s!
