THE CASASVANT OPUS #1484 ORGAN

The original Hook and Hastings organ was Opus #1531 of the Hook and Hastings Company  (established in 1827). The organ was installed in the year 1892 when Rev. Anatole Police, s.m. was  pastor at Our Lady of Victories

In 1933, Robert Morel, Sr., who was the New England representative for Casavant Brothers of St. Hyacinth, Quebec, had a new organ built for the church   (Opus #1484). Nothing was retained from the Hook and Hastings organ except for the pipework and its entire case. The present organ has 28 stops (11 stops were dropped from the original organ).

Over the years the organ has been played by some of the greatest organists, one of whom was Petri Yon, renowned organist and composer.  The Boston Symphony Orchestra has utilized the organ on many occasions. The organ has taken on the character of the Church and the acoustics are beyond praise.
