Description
St. Nicholas of Tolentine's 1916 Moller pipe organ (Opus 2138) was rebuilt by Peragallo in 2006 and will be restored over the course of the next several years. The organ at St. Nicholas is one of the busiest in the country playing over 17 Masses per week, several choir rehearsals per week, and a host of weddings, funerals, and concerts.
St. Nicholas is the church in Atlantic City to find traditionally celebrated Novus Ordo Masses with music at each of the 17 regularly scheduled Masses.
John P. O'Neill, an American counter-terrorism expert, working for the FBI, and killed in the Sept. 11 attack, is buried in the churchyard of Saint Nicholas of Tolentine Church, the church where he once served as an altar boy.
