We are very proud of our recently acquired Church Organ.

In 2004 St. Jude’s purchased the Casavant #2422 from St. Monica’s Anglican Church, Hiawatha Road, Toronto, where it was originally installed in 1957.  After the organ purchase, and months of work moving it from St. Monica's and building it at St. Jude's, Bishop Michael Bedford Jones was on hand for the re-dedication ceremony on Jan. 16, 2005.  

The project was lead by John Struve, Organ Builder, whom we would like to thank for his meticulous work.  The project would have cost thousands of dollars more if it weren't for the heroic efforts of a group of very dedicated St. Jude's men.  We want to honour and thank the following group of parishioners:

Earl Barr Walter Korynkiewicz Jack Smith
Joe Bonney Gordon Lowe George Starr
Ted Fullerton Walter Proud Tom Turner
George Grace Joe Samuels Tom Wilson
Charlie Harrison Alex Smith Dawnson Woo
Bob Haydon Bill Smith
