Benedictine Father Theo Flury, the organist of the Einsiedeln Abbey in Switzerland, plays the new 787-pipe organ at the Sistine Chapel during a mid-December dedication and blessing. The $443,000 organ, donated by the Liechtenstein-based Peter Kaiser Memorial Foundation, will formally debut Jan. 12 during a Mass with Pope John Paul II.
