- In 1966, the Wicks Organ Company built an organ for the chapel of the Assumption Preparatory School in Worcester, Massachusetts. After the closure of this school in 1970, the organ was transferred to the chapel of Assumption College. The organ had 18 stops. In 1975 it was expanded by Wicks to 23 registers. It was subsequently expanded to 27 stops.
- In the years 1987-1995 the Russell company built a much larger new organ, using the good pipe work of Wicks. The largest part was completed in 1990, but the last registers were placed in 1995.
