- Saint Patrick's Church in New Orleans was built in 1840. Henry Erben provided an organ which was completed in 1843. The organ case is in neo-Gothic style. In 1915 the organ was badly damaged. The interior was removed and replaced with an 1887 organ built by Odell for Trinity Episcopal Church in New Orleans. In 1962 this organ was replaced by a new organ from the Möller Organ Company with 27 stops.
- The current organ is a three-manual organ built in 2008-2009 by Patrick J. Murphy. Erben's organ case has been reused, as well as a number of stops by Möller.
