Casavant Frères, Limitée
St. Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada – Opus 2833 (1965)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 9 stops, 12 ranks (32 if completed)


The Factory Specification dated February 11, 1964, shows that Casavant Frères built a two-manual organ that was to be installed in the gallery of the church. Casavant provided an all-electric and detached two-manual console that had stops and couplers controlled by tilting tablets above the upper keyboard. The console case was of oak with a mahogany interior. As designed, the organ was to have a total of thirty-two ranks, but only twelve ranks were installed; the remaining stops were console preparations only. The status of this organ is unknown.
