- An electronic Allen organ was used in the Église Saint-Benoît-Abbé in Sainte-Foy from its construction. In 2006 it was possible to purchase a second-hand pipe organ. It was built around 1900 by the Casavant firm. It was dedicated on October 20, 2007. Dominique Gagnon provided the inaugural concert.
- The organ was believed to have been built in the years between 1880 and 1900 for a church in Westmount. It was later transferred to Montreal in a modified form. In 1980, the Létourneau company installed the organ in the Église Saint-Paul-Apôtre in Québec-Limoilou. A new greenhouse was constructed, as the old greenhouse remained in Montreal. After the closing of this church in 2006, the organ was dismantled and stored. It was subsequently bought for the Église Saint-Benoît-Abbé and was rebuilt in the church after restoration by Jean-François Mailhot.
