Built by: Kegg Pipe Organ Builders (2018) - opus 59
The organ contains older material: Pipes from ca. 1930 by Kilgen Organ Company


In the years 2017-2018, the company Kegg Pipe Organ Builders built a new organ for Christ the King Chapel of the Saint John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver. The organ was dedicated on February 13, 2018, after which Mark Lawlor played the inauguration concert. The organ stands in its entirety in a swell box, with the exception of the Pontifical Trumpet and the Principal 16 'of the pedal, which is in the front. Preparations have been made for an Antiphonal Organ to be placed later, which can be played from the keyboard of the Choir Organ. During the construction of the organ, ten ranks were taken from the old organ of the chapel, built around 1930 by the Kilgen company. This organ had been out of use for a long time and was partially demolished.
