The Église Saint-André in Neufchâtel was dedicated in December 1965. An electronic organ was installed. In 2020, the organ could be purchased from the Église Saint-Louis-de-France in Québec's Sainte-Foy district. This church was closed and demolished. The organ was built in 1968 by Guilbault-Thérien for Olivier Ferland. It is a unit organ with six ranks and thirty registers. In the early 1980s, the organ was sold to the parish of Saint-Louis-de-France. The organ was transferred by François Desautels to Neufchâtel under the supervision of Claude Lemieux. Some changes were made to the disposition. It was put into use at the new location on 11 and 12 September 2021. It was played on this occasion by Claude Lemieux.
