Built by Filipino organ builder Diego Cera, the seven-stop tracker organ was installed in 2014. The organ visit commenced with an organ workshop conducted by Europe-trained pipe organ builders Cealwyn S. Tagle, followed by performance by Gary Tong and Elizabeth Hung Wong. The event was joined by over 10 local organists and students.
