Church held its final mass on August 30, 2009.

Database Manager on July 9th, 2009:
Identified through information in the 1009 <i>Organ Atlas</i>. Replacement of one stop (1942: install 2' Piccolo in place of 8' Cornopean) and new Clarinet bass (1947), with electrification of existing ventil chests (originally tubular pneumatic). Combination action replaced at some point by an identified person or firm.

Database Manager on July 9th, 2009:
Updated through on-line information from Leek Pipe Organ Company. -- The Leek Pipe Organ Company rebuilt all the pedal chests in the original way and rebuilt the console combination action with a 10 level Solid State system. Holtkamp installed new manuals without thumb pistons. The old piston machine was discarded by Leek with the console upgrades. New slide tuners were installed on pipes that had missing ones. Leek also releathered the Swell bellows, installed new toe pistons, and reglued ventil bottom boards to remedy cross ciphering. The pitman membrane system has proved unreliable. In the 80’s church members got the organ playable by themselves. The Swell expression pedals are mechanical,… one shutter is on the front and one on the roof. The Posaune 8’ chest appears to be a replacement … possibly Holtkamp. Holtkamp put new switching and relays in the 70’s. The original Shulke pedal switching exists and is still being used today.
