- In 1874 bouwde George Fincham een orgel voor de Colonial Exhibition in Melbourne in 1875. Na deze tentoonstelling werd het instrument verkocht aan de Jezuïeten in Melbourne-Richmond, die het in 1876 plaatsten in de nieuwe Saint Ignatius Church. Het orgel is op 20 augustus 1876 gewijd, waarna de heer Gerlach een concert verzorgde.
- Het orgel stond oorspronkelijk op een galerij aan de achterzijde van het schip. In 1897 werd het overgeplaatst naar Our Lady's Chapel. In 1989 is het orgel gerestaureerd door de firma FIncham & Sons en in het linker transept van de kerk geplaatst.
