All Organ pipes are sponsored! Many thanks.
This is good news for our parish but I’m sure a few may be disappointed. All the 678 pipes being installed in the pipe organ of our parish church in Enniskeane have been sponsored!
Sincere thanks to all who have supported the organ installation. In spite of these being challenging times for everyone, people have shown great generosity. May the good Lord bless all who have their names on the pipes and may he reward the sponsors with his kindness.
By coincidence, the last of the pipes are also being installed this week by Padraig O’Donovan.
The organ will be blessed and dedicated by Bishop Buckley on Dec 7th.
Final set of pipes installed this week
The final set of pipes being installed in the Enniskeane Church pipe organ will be in place this week. All the organ’s original 622 pipes are already installed.
The addional set of 56 pipes (also known as a “stop”) will bring the number of pipes to 678. The extra set will add the sound of a trumpet to the organ’s range. These pipes were sourced in the west of Ireland and are from a church pipe organ that has been taken out of use.
Painting of the gallery is now ongoing in preparation for the choir’s return the gallery in preparation for the dedication Mass on Dec 7th.
