organ |
Originally built for the Presentation Sisters of Iona Convent and
installed in their chapel in 1964.
Removed in 1966 when the Chapel had
to be demolished due to structural failure.
Gifted to Notre
Dame University for future installation in the Holy Spirit Chapel. This never
came to pass so the organ was obtained by Corpus Christi Church and installed in 1998 by Pipe
Organ Builders and Services.
