Wonderful news! This week we reached our goal to pay off our new organ! It has been a long journey, one that began with the failure of the old organ back in Christmas of 2017. We are blessed to have this magnificent organ paid for completely from donations from parishioners and other supporters. I thank those who have contributed to the pipe organ. It is through your generosity that we have reached this goal and parishioners for generations to come will benefit from your support. 

I thank Mike Murphy and Mike Hadro for their consistent leadership from the beginning of this project. Since my arrival, I've witnessed their tremendous efforts to make this project a reality, and I know that they have been working with the other members of our Pipe Organ Committee for several years to research, promote, and work alongside Peragallo and the contractors from JML who helped to modify the balcony and install the organ. The Organ Committee was committed to raising the funds so that the parish would not need to use its savings to cover the cost of the organ or its installation, and I applaud them for reaching this goal. 

Any funds to be collected over the goal will be used for future projects with the organ, including maintenance and concerts.

Our very special Viva Cristo Rey! concert took place on the Feast of Christ the King despite enhanced COVID restrictions. We hired a professional audio and video production company to livestream the concert which actually turned out much better than being there! Not only that, but those donors who had conflicting events, or were fearful of large crowds, could now watch from the comfort of their living rooms at a time of their choosing, with the private YouTube link we provided them. Praise God, it couldn't have worked out any better.

So, if you had misgivings , and hesitated to purchase tickets beforehand, you now have a second chance to see and hear this magnificent concert, Viva Cristo Rey!, performed on, and in honor of,  the Feast of Christ the King by Carlos Alberto "Chuckie" Ibay. For a one-time donation of $100 to the St. Andrews Organ Fund, you will receive an electronic copy of the evening's program and the private link which allows you to watch at your leisure, as many times as you wish, with family and friends. The nearly two hours of enchanting musical and vocal selections is perfect for Holiday gatherings. The audio and video quality are so good, it's like sitting right next to Chuckie!
