Pipe Organ Dedication and Recital

St. Catherine of Siena – St. Lucy & St. Giles Parish (Oak Park, IL) announces the dedication of their new Berghaus pipe organ, November 16 at 3 p.m. The event features Jonathan Oblander in recital; free and open to the public, with a reception following. The organ comprises three manuals and pedal, four divisions, 47 stops, 40 ranks, and 2,506 pipes. It was completed in late 2024, primarily using pipework from the 1901 Hutchings & Votey instrument that was removed from The Second Church of Christ, Scientist in Chicago before the church was repurposed into living space. Berghaus constructed a new mobile console along with new framework, slider and offset chests, winding and enclosures. The organ speaks through the grillework to the side of the altar.
