Description nr.: 2063126.

Built by: Martin Ott Pipe Organ Inc. (1991) - opus 54


The organ is free standing with keydesk attached. The organ is made of solid red oak with quarter-sawn raised panel design.

Originally the organ was installed against the only available wall, but to everyone’s unhappiness this location caused the obstruction of three stained-glass windows. In 2004/5 the chapel underwent a major renovation and offered the opportunity to re-expose the windows. The architect designed for the organ a new space opposite the stained glass windows. The newly designed seminary chapel is of great aesthetic beauty.

Chaplain Professor James Tiefel represented the Seminary. Edward Meyer was the Organ Consultant.
