Dear St. Francis of Assisi Parishioners,
The St. Francis of Assisi Music Ministry is appealing to parishioners to consider a donation toward our wonderful Allen organ. In May, extreme power surges related to street construction melted organ electrical wires and shorted critical parts, which resulted in the destruction of over 200 organ sounds that are routinely tapped to generate the liturgical music for masses, weddings, and funerals.
The Church brought in an Allen Organ repairman, who informed us that the Midi Ensemble and the Midi assistant module were fried. The plan is to purchase floor models of both components and to install the tone generators on top of the organ rather than inside it (saving intensive labor work). With these measures, the price of repairs would be reduced to $3,675.
The cost to correct the damage to the organ cannot be absorbed by the parish budget, which is why donations will be sought. Music elevates the soul, and our hope is to bring our organ back to its original working condition so that it can once again uplift our liturgies and our prayers.
Music Ministry Organ Donation envelopes are available in the vestibule, and at the rectory. Every size gift is welcome, and all are 100% tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your consideration, your generosity, and your continued support of Music Ministry here at St. Francis of Assisi Church.
God Bless,
Peter Schubart,
Music Director
