Our Church Organ

All of us have heard the expression: "Nothing lasts forever", and how true that is. Presently our Church Organ is in need of major repairs. You may have noticed some "sour notes" and at times it cannot be turned "on" and "off" when needed. This organ is about 27 years old and is showing its age. Unfortunately, the company that installed it is no longer in business here in the United States and there is no one available to make repairs which are needed. Therefore, we will be in need of purchasing a new organ. This is certainly an unexpected expense. Our choir has agreed to begin some fundraising for a new instrument which will cost about $60,000. The Second Vatican Council maintained that the “organ is to be held in high esteem, for it is the traditional musical instrument which adds a wonderful splendor to the Church’s ceremonies and powerfully lifts up our minds and hearts to God and to higher things!” For all in our parish community who would like to contribute to make our new organ a reality, your donations would be greatly appreciated. Envelopes for donations are at the entrances of the church and chapel. "Buy a Key" or "Buy a Pedal" with a suggested donation of $200 per key/pedal. Thus far, we have collected approximately $31,000. Thank you for your generosity!
