St. Patrick's pipe organ was originally built by A. B. Felgemaker of Erie, PA in 1906. After over 100 years of service to the parish, the organ was rebuilt by Heritage Pipe Organs thanks to the generosity of Morgan and Kathy Jacox. The rebuild included the addition of a vintage Pedal Trombone rank of pipes and a new Solo Tuba stop. In addition, Heritage provided a deluxe new drawknob console. The Jacox Memorial Pipe Organ was featured in the December 2021 issue of The American Organist Magazine. You can also tour the organ and hear a demonstration in a video published by the Organ Media Foundation: Demonstration by Bryan Timm.
