The organ shown above is a Wicks instrument Opus 4302 installed in the 1960's. The description indicates that it is a 2 manual, 3 division, 14 rank, direct-electric instrument. After Katrina, the organ was dismantled and removed, and that parts of it were given to Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church in Westwego, LA. Our information, from a volunteer who was involved, indicated that the pipework was heavily water damaged and termite infested, and that most of the material was beyond repair or use. |

SOME HISTORIC VIEWS
FROM THE PAST |
|
The following historic photos
of Our Lady Of Lourdes Church and School were provided by Lee Bou. According
to the provider, the church pictures probably date to a snow that occurred
in New Orleans on New Year's Eve in 1963, and the school pictures date
back to the 1950's. New Orleans Churches welcomes historic photographs
from our viewers, and we will endeavor to publish material sent to us
by friends of the site. |
