Some of the channels on YouTube I know of that have Catholic hymns with organ are
Francis1930 - lots of English hymns as he’s an Englishman I think
TradOrganist - a church organist with lots of recordings of the hymns & chants at his church
Marco Echeverría - lots of videos of Latin chants and such with organ accompaniment on most of them
Christian Hymnal - mostly organ accompaniment videos. Many Protestant hymns but Catholic ones are in there too.

On Spotify there’s OCP Session Choir. Not every piece is with organ but the ones that do have it are decent. There’s also John Keys and Andrey Jackson for just organ accompaniment.

Easy Organ Hymns for Catholics scroll down the page for the link to Nova Organi Harmonia - Gregorian Chant ones. And a little further on is a link for learning to accompany hymns on the organ.

On itunes Catholic Hymns, Vol. 1 - Organ Accompaniments John Keys

This site may be of interest, though do not know which ones are for free or free to use in public - Finding backing-tracks to use in church services

I am assuming you are an organist and are looking for music you yourself can play during Mass. If not, I apologize for my misunderstanding. (There are various CDs available to buy if you just wish to listen to these hymns yourself).
 
This would be a good question for @PianistClare, but it’s been a long time since I last saw her name here.

How about live?

Official parishes and communities of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter - not included are pre-ordinariate communities which celebrate Mass or have Evensong occasionally. Granted, not all parishes have organ, but many of them do, including my own, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham - Catholic Church & Shrine, Houston, TX; my last one, Our Lady of the Atonement Catholic Church, San Antonio, TX; and The Catholic Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Arlington, TX; as well as Incarnation Catholic Church, Orlando, FL; and St. Barnabas Catholic Church, Omaha, NE. In addition to organ, all of these parishes have choirs.

My own parish, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham - Catholic Church & Shrine, uses the Hymnal 1940 of the The Episcopal Church. For whatever their theological faults are, the Episcopalians know excellent hymnody in and out.

I own a copy of the Adoremus Hymnal published by Ignatius Press.

Maybe it would help to know why you want it…

I mean - is it just to enjoy listening to organ music? Are you an organ student? Are you doing research for something? Do you want to pray along with it in some particular way? Do you want it in some particular genre (of Catholic hymns)?

There’s lots to be had. YouTube searches are so easy - it’s like why even ask? But if you’re looking for something specific, then tell us, so maybe we can help you better.
