Please note that the stop list is subject to change during the planning stage.

Great – The Great Division is the primary division of the organ and is almost entirely pipe-based (10 ranks). Its sound will project from one of the visible pipe towers, framing the statues of the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph. It serves to accompany congregational singing and to perform organ repertoire.

Swell – The Swell Division is the organ’s second principal division. It will be digital (Walker) and enclosed under expression, allowing the organist to control the volume dynamically. It will sound from one of the towers. This division supports congregational singing as well as the choir or cantors.

Positiv – This division functions almost as an organ within the organ and is primarily pipe-based (10 ranks). It is modeled after the Italian Baroque organs of Northern Italy, offering bright and delightful tonal colors. The Positiv is designed to create delicate, conversational contrast with the main divisions, reminiscent of the organs of the Duomo di Milano. It features a distinctive reed stop, the Cornetto de Caccio (hunting horn).

Choir – As its name suggests, the Choir Division is chiefly intended to accompany the choir. It includes an interesting reed stop, the Clarinetto, and will sound from one of the pipe towers.

Chorale – This smaller division, located close to the choir, will accompany them when they sing alongside another organ division positioned farther away.

Solo – The Solo Division consists of large-scale voices that will sound from the ceiling above the sanctuary, where the current digital organ is presently heard. It will contain several distinctive solo reeds.

Pedal – The Pedal Division is played with the organist’s feet (the pedals function as a large keyboard operated by foot). It includes a 16’ rank of pipes that provides a true sense of bass in a way no speaker system can replicate.

Antiphonal / Antiphonal Pedal – These two divisions will sound from the rear of the church to assist in leading congregational singing, as many people sing more confidently when sound comes from behind them. The current digital organ also plays from this location, but it uses the same sounds as the main organ. The new Antiphonal Organ is specifically designed to better support congregational singing from the back of the church.
