Music Ministry Committee - A "Pipe Dream" Came True

This committee is expecting to complete a project begun in the seventies. Realizing that the electronic organ being used was inadequate for a parish of our size, members of the parish and friends continued over the years to make contributions to the Organ Fund. 
 
By 1979 the Fund had accumulated $9,885.43. It took almost 25 years, but by April 2003 the Fund had grown and sufficient funds enabled the parish to purchase a used pipe organ. Additional funds, however, would be needed to pay for reconstruction and installation. With diocesan approval of a budget, the committee developed a plan that would reach not only parishioners but business and friends of St. Joseph.
 
July 2004 is the scheduled date for dedication. By this date, the Committee wants the pipe organ to be debt-free. Considerable energy is being invested; but other parishes going through this process attest to its worth. There will be a deep satisfaction in creating a legacy that will enrich the worship and music life for subsequent generations.
