The Organ Fund was established in 1993 by a generous donation from Al Oliver, 
a parishioner at Saint Brigid Parish. He donated the Berghaus Pipe Organ to 
Saint Brigid Church in honor of his parents, the late John and Mary Oliver. 
Any additions made to the organ are financed through the Organ Fund (and do 
not come out of the general operating budget of the parish).
