A rebuild of an instrument installed in the chancel of the church at some point during the 1880s (builder and exact date unknown) at a cost of $3,000. Work on the instrument resulted in a delay in installation more than two months late. The organ was opened by John J. Weatherseed, assisted by his choir from St. Thomas' Anglican Church, St. Catharines, on June 18, 1925. Judging by a report in the St. Catharines Standard of October 14 of that year, further work was required by the Morel firm "adjusting the mechanism so as to make it more satisfactory in every way than before." It's possible that the earlier tracker instrument was converted to tubular-pneumatic action, as in 1949 it was reported that the Keates Organ Company replaced the console with one having electric action.
