Pipe Organs

“They were all in one place together.
And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind,
and it filled the entire house in which they were.”
—Acts 2:1–2

 

 

Rushing wind—the Holy Spirit—marked the gathering of the Church at Pentecost. The organ similarly “gathers” the many wind streams in its pipes into a mellifluous sound in praise of God.

Three pipe organs grace the Cathedral: a portable continuo and choir organ in the sanctuary (2022), along with a gallery organ in the choir loft above the church’s entrance (2024). Juget-Sinclair Organbuilders of Montreal built these instruments.
