About Our New Organ

Our new organ is the product of more than three years of vision, planning and hard work, most especially by our Director of Sacred Music, Mr. David Mathers, our Pastor, Fr. Don Rooney, our organ consultant Dr. William Hamner, and organ builders Ms. Mary William Baines, Ms. Kathryn Holland, and Mr. Mark Scholtz.  Our parish is especially indebted to all those who provided a clear vision of the beauty that the human arts can give to our worship, and for the tireless giving of their own talents and energy in leading the organ project.  The 3,286 pipes of this marvelous musical instrument along with the renovation of the church is a legacy to many future generations of St. Mary members.

In addition to those acknowledged here, over 250 individuals and families have made dedicated financial gifts in support of the organ project.  Our thanks goes out to them. 

Over two -thirds of our fund raising goal for the organ projects has been reached.  We are still in need of contributions and anyone interested is encouraged to contact our parish music office at 540-373-6491.  You may also, read more about How to Donate to the Pipe Organ Program and obtain a form by visiting our links.
