Our thanks to (then Minister for Planning, now the NSW Premier) The Hon. Kristina Keneally MP, who approved the Grant of $30,000 as part of the NSW Heritage Grants 2009-11 to enable completion of the conservation of the 1890 French Puget Organ. In addition, The Society of the Sacred Heart was granted a further $10,000 “kick-start funding”. This brings the number of Grants to three, totalling $66,250, for the conservation of this instrument, recognising its importance and uniqueness in Australian history. It is also a tribute to The Society of the Sacred Heart which has owned and cared for the organ since it was installed in the Convent in Bordeaux in 1890 and subsequently sent to Australia in 1904.
