Database Manager on May 23, 2019:

Updated by Carl Chadek. The first building for St. Hilary Parish was a temporary building that did not house an organ. This building was used from the beginning of the parish from 1926 to 1928. In 1928, a building that is now the gymnasium/cafeteria, was built and used until the current building was completed and opened in 1955-56. To my knowledge, no instrument was ever installed in this building. In my discussions with older parishioners, I was told that there was a pump organ in use. There is likely some confusion regarding records from Moller about this listing. Perhaps an instrument was proposed but never installed.
