Why is restoration of St. Patrick's Cathedral Organ necessary now? Not a rhetorical question, so please answer in the Comments.

Q.

Ten-eleven First Avenue was sold and, as regulars at St. Mary's know, parishes are reading the tea-leaves and praying for survival.  Is now the time to solicit contributions for this organ?  Again, not a rhetorical question.

In my old age I am ready to confess that nothing gives me more delight than singing hymns in church, especially as a member of a choir.  Singing with choirs has given me an appreciation of the usual accompaniment, the organ.  I stand in awe of organists:  the tiers of keys, the hands, the feet, the registration.  Lurking on Facebook as organists discuss the technical aspects has only deepened my interest, my respect and my love for this instrument and those who venture to play it.

What I don't understand is why the Kilgen organ at St. Patrick's needs to be restored at this time.  Recently Cardinal Dolan sent us 2 "updates" on the financial constraints facing the archdiocese.  Ten-eleven First Avenue was sold and, as regulars at St. Mary's know, parishes are reading the tea-leaves and praying for survival.  Is now the time to solicit contributions for this organ?  Again, not a rhetorical question.

The fundraising page for this initiative states,  "But the Cathedral’s own voice, its world-renowned Kilgen pipe organ, is in jeopardy of going silent after 96 years of service.  After nearly a century of constant work, the Kilgen is in dire need of renovation. It has a sound and an appearance that are totally singular and revered internationally. It rivals the world-famous pipe organ at Notre-Dame in Paris.”

However, the Wikipedia entry for St. Patrick's Cathedral references several renovations, the most recent beginning in 2012, and coinciding with St. Patrick's Restore campaign, and ending in 2015 with the organ being returned to the cathedral:  "Tonal modifications were made in the 1940s and 1950s, and additional renovations occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.^[307] In 1993, while John-Michael Caprio was music director, a major restoration of the organs commenced, and the old three-manual consoles were replaced with twin five-manual consoles.^[182] The Peragallo Pipe Organ Company removed the cathedral's organ for cleaning in early 1994.^[310] The next year, the Chancel Organ was restored.^[182] The restoration was completed after the Echo Organ in the triforium was restored.^[307] All the organs of the cathedral were removed from the cathedral during the 2012–2015 restoration, and were restored, cleaned and re-voiced by the Peragallo Company before being reinstalled in 2015.^[311]"

Is this a good decision for the "people of God" of the archdiocese?

Please help me out.
