Be a Part of Our St. Joseph Project “To my eyes and ears the organ will ever be the King of Instruments.” ~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Having marked our parish’s 70th anniversary this year, we look forward to the opportunity to build a high quality instrument that will last us well into our next century. About the St. Joseph Pipe Organ Our Rooted in Faith: Forward in Hope campaign identified the need to replace our 1985 digital organ. In response to this, our Organ Replacement Committee surfaced a proposal for a two manual, 14-rank organ with approximately 1000 pipes. This proposal takes into account that over 100 years, the cost of installing and maintaining one pipe organ is approximately $500,000 less than the installation of up to four digital organs over the same time.

Our organ will be built by Leek Pipe Organ Company of Berea, using some repurposed components from two local churches, to perfectly fit our church’s space both acoustically and aesthetically. James Leek is a Catholic, 3rd generation organ-builder who has recently been doing notable work all over the US, but especially here in our county, including the restoration of the pipe organ at St. Stanislaus in Cleveland.
