  • In 1917, the Casavant firm built an organ for the Saint-Antoine-de-Bienville in Lévis. It was a three-manual organ with 31 stops. It was played by Arthur Bernier during the inauguration in June 1917. After the church closed, the instrument was sold in 2004 to the Église Christ-Roi in Lévis. This church was built in 1954. On September 26, 2004, the organ could be consecrated, on the day of the church's 50th anniversary. The organ was played on this occasion by Dany Wiseman and the organist of the parish, Jean-Michel Grondin.
  • Unfortunately, the organ only served a short time in Lévis. On January 6, 2006, a fire broke out in the church and the instrument was lost.
