This organ was originally built for Notre Dame Catholic Church in Central
Falls, Rhode Island. It was relocated through the Organ Clearing House and
restored by the Bond firm. The instrument remains mechanically unaltered,
however tonal changes were made. The Great III Mixture is an entirely new
addition. The Swell 2' Piccolo has been made from the original 4' Violina.

St. Luke's had originally contracted with Bond to rebuild a II-manual Geo.
Jardine & Son organ. At the same time, St. Mary's Catholic Church in
Corvallis, Oregon had contracted with the Bond firm to restore the W.K.
Adams' Sons organ. Mr. Bond realized that the W.K. Adams' Sons organ was
better suited to St. Luke's needs, and at his recommendation, the parishes
swapped instruments prior to restoration work.

The facade pipes of the W.K. Adams' Sons organ were repainted and
stencilled by Dean Applegate. Members of the parish refinished the poplar
casework.
