The St. Lawrence Chapel Organ
Mater Dei is blessed with the use of the beautiful Neo-Gothic St. Lawrence Chapel near the Susquehanna River waterfront of State Street. In this chapel is a magnificent pipe organ, originally built in 1885 by Felgemaker, then completely overhauled, updated, and expanded by local Brunner & Associates Organbuilders in 2009. This 28-rank 2 manual instrument fills our chapel with the sounds of its many beautiful stops, and can convincingly play many styles of music, from Baroque to Romantic to modern compositions. The organ is well-maintained year-round to ensure beautiful and in-tune music.
