WASHINGTON - Persons
throughout t h e United States
who view the nationwide tele
cast of Christmas Eve Midnight
Mass from the National Shrine
of the Immaculate Conception
will hear one of the finest pipe
organs to be found anywhere.
A gift to the great Shrine
here from Francis Cardinal
Spellman, the Military Vicar,
and from the Catholic chaplains
and men and women of the U.S.
armed forces, the organ has
many unusual features.
The fine musical instrument
has been years in the making,
at a cost of some $250,000. It
has been put in place only in
recent months, and will be
heard nationwide for the first
time on the Christmas Eve tele
cast. The Mass of St. Joseph
which will be sung was written
by Flor Peeters for organ.
While not the largest pipe or
gan in the world, or even in
this country, the Shrine instru
ment has the largest exposed
divisions of any organ in Amer
ica. These parts are in the

Bishop Thomas J. McDonough

December meeting of Blessed
Sacrament Home and School
Association.

the 3rd session of the Vatican
Council which just ended.
He said that the changes in

periences in visits to shrines in
Italy and also told of his trip to
Ireland “The Land of Saints

Ruckpositiv divisions which
hang against the gallery wall,
and these contain more pipes
than any similar divisions the
makers know of.
The Shrine organ utilizes four
separate blowing units to sup
ply wind to the pipes. In the
gallery over the main entrance
to the church are IV2, 5 and 7V2
horsepower blowers. There is a
7V2 horsepower blower in the
front chancel organ, high above
the floor near the sanctuary.
There is a “Pontifical Trum
pet,” which points toward the
main altar from a spot above
the gallery organ case above
the main entrance to the
church. This is made of bronze,
and is the first known use of
■such metal in organ construc
tion.
The contact system throughout
the organ is of sterling silver.
All cables in the organ are
shielded with tin-coated wire to
eliminate static in broadcasting.
It is a distance of 325 feet
from the chancel console to the
gallery console, and if all the
wire used in the organ were
stretched out it would reach
from New York to beyond San
Francisco. The chancel console
even now controls the “Pontifi
cal Trumpet” in the south gal
lery, and provision is made so
that, at some future date, both
organs can be played from the
chancel console.
There is a filter and signal
system which automatically
turns on a light on the console
if air filters in the blowing
units should become clogged
with dust.
The total weight of the gal
lery and chancel organs is 116,-
500 pounds.
The largest wood pipe, a 32-
footer containing 230 board feet
of lumber, weighs 520 pounds.
The smallest wood pipe, 3 inch
es long and containing one-forty-
eighth of a board foot of lum
ber, weighs one-third of an
ounce. The smallest metal pipe
is three-eighths of an inch long,
but requires a six-inch “foot”
for racking. Including the “foot”
it weighs one-quarter ounce.
There are eight different
wind pressures throughout the
organ. The manual keys are ei
ther genuine ivory or genuine
ebony. All concealed pipes run
ning from the blowing units to
the organ chambers are of
stainless steel.
M. P. Moller of Hagerstown,
Md., made the organ.
The American Broadcasting
Company will televise the
Christmas Eve mass, beginning
at midnight, Washington stan
dard time.
