from church "about us" page:
"Founded in 1851, the Parish of the Immaculate Conception, commonly known as Saint Mary’s, has served the spiritual and temporal needs of the people of Port Jervis and Deerpark for over 165 years. Many of the families who comprise the parish today are descendants of those who established the parish and built our magnificent church, finished in 1871."

The current church, the parish's second, was completed in 1877 [sic--actual date 1871]. The identity of the first organ is unknown, although legend has it that some of the pipework in the current instrument predates the construction of the church. In the late 1960s, a new electric-action instrument was installed by the Delaware Organ Company of Tonawanda, NY. At that time, the organ comprised twenty-eight ranks, spread across three manuals and pedal. In 2004, the Levsen Organ Company of Buffalo, IA, completed a substantial rebuilding and enlargement of the organ. This consisted primarily of additional mixtures and reeds, as well as a complete principal chorus in the pedal. The Delaware console was retained, although with substantial revisions and additions. The organ is located in a high central gallery, unimpeded by columns or casework, and now comprises forty-two ranks of pipes.
