Built by: Fincham & Son (1979)


In 1979, Fincham & Son built a new organ for Mary Immaculate Catholic Church in Waverley. It is a two-manual instrument with 23 registers. The church building is the mother church of the Franciscan Friars Minor in Australia. The building was built in 1912 and was converted in 1929. Charles Richardson placed an organ in 1914. This almost certainly involved a rebuild of the 1902 Rendall organ from the Pitt Street Congregational Church, which was replaced in 1910. This organ was sold to a private person in 1979.
