Above are the original organ grills and the replacement organ in the center. Information on the organ is shown below.
 

Shown above are pictures of the three rank Wicks organ which has served this church since the 1940's following the removal of the original organ that was installed when the church was built. This little self-contained Wicks apparently served the church successfully for many years. This organ was removed during the post Hurricane Katrina restoration of the facility, and future music will probably be piano or instrumental ensemble. Here is the stop specification of the Wicks organ shown above:.
