- Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Southbridge, Massachusetts was built in 1877-1878 and was dedicated on Easter 1878. The official consecration did not take place until June 16, 1889. In 1906 the Hutchings-Votey firm built a new organ for the church. This organ was removed from the church in 1970, in connection with a renovation of the interior. A new organ was then installed by Wicks Organ Company. The parent ended up somewhere in a shed.
- The organ was purchased in 1978 by Pastor Haley of the Parish of Saint Mary in Holliston, Massachusetts. The Kinsey-Angestein Organ Company rebuilt the instrument and carefully restored everything. The organ was dedicated on September 8, 1979. It was played by Wojciech Wojtasiewicz on this occastion.
