Parish Organ Being Repaired

Interior of Swell Box

Great Division Main Chest Pipe Work

Rodent-damaged Pipes

Damaged Swell Pipe Work

Our organ is being repaired!  We have a valuable 1905 Moller Organ which was originally installed at Fifth Street Baptist Church.  St. Elizabeth acquired the organ in 1925.  You will hear it played again this Easter Sunday at the 9:00 a.m. Mass.

The pictures accompanying this article were taken as part of a report on the condition of the organ.

Another website, The Churches of Richmond contains many more photos and information about our parish, our organ and its history.
