Our Organ
120. In the Latin Church the pipe organ is to be held in high esteem, for it is the traditional musical instrument which adds a wonderful splendor to the Church’s ceremonies and powerfully lifts up man’s mind to God and to higher things. – Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, 1963
The Organ in Liturgy
In keeping with Church doctrine and tradition, St. Anthony of Padua is home to an Allen CF-4 electronic organ. Donated by a parishioner shortly after the Worship Hall opened, the organ is used to accompany music at our Sunday liturgies as well as other special events that happen in the parish. Due to its rich overtones, the organ, unlike the piano is the instrument best suited to fulfill the need of support for the singing assembly.
Demonstrations of the organ are available. Please call the parish office for more information.

Our Piano
St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church also uses a Yamaha C7X grand piano, which is Yamaha’s top-of-the-line piano. Additionally, St. Anthony’s has a top-of-the-line A/V system featuring the world’s premier speaker company.
The Piano in Liturgy and Concert
At St. Anthony of Padua, we are blessed to have a Yamaha C7X Grand Piano, renowned for its warm, resonant tone and exceptional touch. This professional concert grand, generously donated by a parishioner, is a valued part of our music ministry. While the organ remains the primary instrument for leading congregational song in the liturgy, the piano brings a unique clarity and expressive range that enhances choral anthems, solo repertoire, and special parish events.
The C7X is used for select liturgies, concerts, weddings, and other musical occasions, offering a rich and nuanced sound that complements both sacred and classical works. Its responsive action and tonal depth make it an ideal instrument for bringing out the artistry of our musicians.
Demonstrations of the piano are available. Please call the parish office for more information.
