(See separate entry for this instrument at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Minneapolis (St. Louis Park), MN.)
Builder: Reuter Organ Co., Op. 1875, 1974 (rebuilt and installed by Reuter as Op1875-A, 2007).
Manuals: 2
Ranks: 39
Action: Electro-pneumatic

Notes: Reuter Opus 1875 was originally built in 1974 for St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Minneapolis (St. Louis Park), Minnesota.

The two manual, 20 rank organ was relocated and expanded for a new home at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church in 2007.

The new configuration features a Choir Organ located in front of the nave near the choir seating and console. The main organ divisions are located high above the entrance doors at the back of the nave. The installation was completed by Steve Barnhart, Minnesota District Representative for Reuter.

Crist and Reding are family names as memorials

Editor's note: St. Luke's is an A-frame, dark building, now occupied by a different congregation. The organ was utilitarian but not inspiring. This transplant is a very happy outcome for this organ. It now resides in a bright and resonant space. Many exciting programs with choir have been held at St. Bartholomew's.
