Pipes, Pedals and Pizza at St Aloysius, Bowling Green

 St. Aloysius was hosting an event all about their organ and I had to go. Here are some images

Normally the balcony is locked, meaning you can't get this close to the organ.


The organ was built in the late 1800s, but had some sort of major restoration in 1998. Unlike most organs, everything is operated by wood levers, not electronically.





This must be a new statue.

A Scrapbook of Materials Pertaining to Toledo's Catholic Deaf Community, 1916-1955

A fascinating item available at Internet Archive: A scrapbook compiled by a member of Ephpheta, the sodality of deaf Catholics in the Toledo area. There are many clippings showing the installation of several Toledo bishops and details of missions held for deaf Catholics.
