- In 1959 the company Pels & Zn. built a three-manual organ with 35 stops for the chapel of the mother house of the Soeurs de l'Assomption-de-la-Sainte-Vierge congregation, Rue du Carmel in Nicolet, Québec. Five registers of the pedal are transmissions. The organ was in use until the spring of 2017. The chapel was then closed and has later been demolished.
- The organ was donated by the congregation to the parish of Saint-Sauveur in Val-d'Or. In this church there was a Casavant organ from 1945, which was in very bad condition. The Pels organ could be inaugurated in Val-d'Or on March 9, 2018.
