 Maintaining an organ of this size, complexity, and vintage is a never-ending project, and we call on the expertise of the Jean-Paul Buzard Pipe Organ Company for our organ’s regular maintenance and, when necessary, repairs. We are deeply grateful to the many friends of Grace who have given so generously to our Organ Fund over the years.

Grace’s organ, built by Casavant Freres of St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada, was dedicated in October 1922. It is Casavant’s Opus #940; a recent Casavant installation was Opus #3941.

Our organ has 4,648 pipes, 62 stops, 77 ranks, and 9 divisions. The pipes are installed above and behind the choir stalls; above the baptistry, above and in the ambulatories to the left and right of the chancel. The gray metal pipes visible around the church are only decorative; the speaking pipes are hidden behind them, in closets, and in walls.

It is played every Sunday in worship, as well as in other services and concerts throughout the year.
