- The large organ in Our Lady of Fatima Roman Catholic Church in Lafayette, Louisiana, was initially built by the Pilcher Brothers in 1911. The organ was rebuilt and expanded in 1967 by Otto Hofmann. The current instrument was created after a major overhaul and expansion by the Kegg Pipe Organ Builders company in 2015.
- A remarkable feature of the four-manual organ is the Bombarde Division, which consists entirely of transmissions from the other divisions. The Bombarde can be played on any manual and pedal. A copper Fatima Trumpet is instyalled on the opposite side of the church. This trumpet 'belongs' to Grande Orgue, but can also be used from every manual and pedal.
