Organ Restoration Fund for the Cathedral's Casavant Frères Organ Here at St Mary’s Cathedral Basilica, the organ is not a decoration. It is the voice of prayer. It supports every Holy Mass, every wedding, every funeral. It has accompanied generations in moments of grace, sorrow, and hope. This organ is a renowned Casavant Frères Opus 2570 pipe organ built by a Montreal-based firm in 1960. It was dedicated to World War II veterans, at its installation by Archbishop Joseph Gerald Berry. Today, this instrument is currently out of commission and is in serious need of restoration and repair. Without it, that magnificent voice will remain silent. The estimated cost to restore the organ is $70,000. We are asking your generous help to participate in supporting the organ restoration project.
