Main Organ

The Main Organ is a 3 manual handcrafted pipe organ built for St. John's by Orgues Létourneau, Limited in Quebec, Canada. It was specifically designed to blend with the architecture of the church and boasts 36 stops and 2,425 pipes. The Létourneau pipe organ (the fourth organ since this edifice was built) was installed in 2001 and purchased with funds raised by parishioners and friends of St. John's to replace an electronic Allen Organ, purchased in 1960. The first organ in this edifice was made in England in 1807 by Thomas Elliot, London and was used until an Estey Organ was installed in 1915.
