St. Mary's Asumption Church

The organ at St. Mary's Assumption is an 1861 Simmons and Willcox. It was revised, in 1900, by William Schulke, who was also the builder of the organ at neighboring St. Alphonsus. Schulke added tubular pneumatics and revised the winding system. The organ was damaged by Hurricane Betsy, but restoration was done and it was again playable for the 1989 OHS convention. Some of the pipework had disappeared over the years, and Roy Redman replaced this with Austin pipe work that came from the original organ at Trinity Episcopal Church on Jackson Ave. Currently, the organ is on its fourth console, a 1950's vintage Moller. The organ is still used weekly for Mass and weddings. Organ specs can be viewed by clicking here.
