OUR PIPE ORGAN PROJECT
At St. Mary's Church we are working to improve and enlarge our pipe organ. An ambitious project has been taken on by volunteer parishioners under the guidance of Eric Ordoyne. The church's original Wicks organ has been relocated out into the sanctuary and expanded to provide for the needs of a large congregation and traditional congregational singing. Donations and grants from parishioners are funding the purchase of material, and all of the work is being done using the talented volunteer labor of the parishioners along with members of the American Theatre Organ Society.
