- The organ of Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in Lowell, Massachusetts, was built in 1899 by Hook & Hastings as their opus number 1848. It was built with electric action. In 1963 a new console has installed by Rostron Kershaw, local organ maker. Many stops names have got new names on the new console (like Trompette in stead of Cornopean). The pedal board has 32 keys, but on the wind chest the compass still is 30 notes (C-f').
- In some publications the church is referred to as Saint Peter's Roman Catholic Church.
