About
In 2026, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of our Casavant organ. Before being installed in our parish, this magnificent four-manual, 3,902-pipe organ served for 87 years at St. James Methodist Episcopal Church on Ellis Avenue at Forty-sixth Street in Chicago. To commemorate the first century of this remarkable instrument, a dedicated committee is planning several events from February to November 2026, which will include organ recitals performed by distinguished guest organists. The complete program for this exciting year will be available on February 1, 2026. For further information about the organ, please contact our organist at ccavalli@cantius.org.
