Pipe Organ

Christ the King’s magnificent pipe organ is in the process of being installed, and completion is expected in the spring of 2012.  The organ was built in 1949 by the highly regarded American organbuilding firm Aeolian-Skinner (Op. 1192), and its original home was First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Tucson. Tucson-area organbuilder Michael O’Sullivan is restoring the organ and installing it at Christ the King.
