Praise the Lord!
Praise him with trumpets,
Praise him with strings and pipes.
Praise the Lord, all living creatures!
— Psalm 150

The organ was built by Casavant Frères of St. Hyacinthe, Québec, and installed in July of 1999.

The organ has two manuals and pedalboard, the swell being under expression, and consists of a total of seventeen stops and twenty-one ranks for a total of 1223 pipes.
