In the Spring of 2005 one could buy a second hand Casavant organ of 1964, coming from Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church in Wellesley. This organ became redundant, because a new instrument was installed there. The Casavant organ was built for Wellesley in North German baroque style und consultancy of Donald Willing. It was removed from the church in Wellesley in early 2005, and then restored and transfered to South Hadley by the company Czelusniak & Dugal in 2008. John Weaver played the dedication concert on October 5, 2008. The organ is located at the frontside of the church, behind the altar. In 2009 Czelusniak & Dugal installed a new electronic combination system.
