A New Organ for St Francis of Assisi, Paddington

Posted on October 31, 2018 by

Help ensure the future of Music and Worship in Paddington. 

Become an organ donor: sponsor parts without losing any yourself!

image001The current electronic organ has been servicing our parish for well over twenty years and needs replacing.

The new organ in St Francis, Paddington will be a digital pipe organ, with world-class instruments recorded and stored in the new instrument’s computer. This process uses software known as ‘Hauptwerk’.

You might like to donate one of the parts of the organ, perhaps in memory of a loved one, and have their name written on the memorial board for special intentions, which will be located on the new console.

More information can be found on the choir website here
