The Cathedral's Organ

Our Cathedral parish is blessed with an excellent pipe organ.  The organ is one of the finest to be found in the Dubuque area, and adds to the liturgy when used during Mass.  From time to time recitals are held at the Cathedral to highlight the capabilities of our fine instrument. Below is a complete specification of the organ stoplist.
