The Holtkamp-Pasi organ in the Abbey and University Church brings centuries of organ literature to life while supporting the daily prayer of the monastic community. With approximately 6,000 pipes, its remarkable range and versatility invite musicians and listeners to experience the beauty and power of sacred music. 

The Organ Program Endowment supports performances by world-class artists and local musicians. Stephen Tharp performed for the organ’s blessing and dedication in 2022. Since then, Greg Zelek has presented programs including a collaboration with the Canadian Brass, and acclaimed organists Isabelle Demers and Damin Spritzer have also performed. 

Our own musicians—including Father Bob Koopmann, Brother David Klingeman, Father Anthony Ruff, and Brother Jacob Berns—accompany congregations in worship and delight audiences through creative performances. Their work connects the organ’s concert life with its central purpose in prayer. 

Your gift helps build an endowment that sustains inspiring programming, brings gifted performers to Collegeville, and shares this remarkable instrument with the campus and wider community. Through your support, its music will continue to lead prayer, awaken imagination, and welcome new listeners.
