A very short 10 minute drive north of my place is a quaint little Catholic church, home to a 1999 mechanical action "P. Voskulen" organ. The church is next to the St Mary MacKillop College school. The church has Mass daily and the school have their Mass each Friday. This organ will be visited on the upcoming OHTA conference in October. I demonstrate this versatile little organ with a chorale prelude by Buxtehude and "Reverie" by Colin Ashworth.
