A NEW ALLEN ORGAN FOR MOTHER OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE


We are currently on the process of installing a new 58-stop Allen Organ in Mother of Divine Providence, King of Prussia PA. This wonderful instrument designed by Mr. Rudolph Lucente, is the result of years of experience playing organs for Catholic and Protestant worship. This is a service instrument with all the bells and whistles any organist could ask for in a three-manual organ. The main organ will speak from the front while an independent solo Trumpet will come from the rear.

Stay tuned for more information on the progress of this organ as well as an upcoming dedication concert.
