- On March 3, 1968, a new organ dedicated in the Antonius van Padua Church on the Groesbeekseweg in Nijmegen. The organ was placed on the choir. Maurice Pirenne was the consultant for the construction of the new organ. He also played the organ during the commissioning, which was further collaborated by the youth choir conducted by Jan Leisink and Hans Smits on the organ. The Bassoon 16' of the pedal was not yet installed.
- In 2005 Verschueren carried out major maintenance on the organ. On Whit Sunday, May 15, 2005, the instrument was put back into use. It was played by Berry van Berkum, in collaboration with several instrumentalists and Evelien Asberg, vocals.
- A renovation has been carried out by Verschueren Orgelbouw in 2017. On this occasion the Cimbel of the second manual has been removed (and stored inside the organ case) and replaced with a new Nasard 2 2/3'. The Vlakfluit 2' (Hoofdwerk) and the Octaaf 2' (Borstwerk) were exchanged. All the reed stops have been adapted and revoiced.
