- Trinity Church had an Aeolian-Skinner organ dating from 1954, which had fallen into disrepair as a result of a fire and extinguishing work in 1963. Despite repairs, it was necessary to replace the organ. In 1978 a new organ was built by Casavant Frères. The design was created by Jim Litton in collaboration with André Isoir and Casavant in a French style, inspired by the work of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. The old organ was sold to a church in California.
- The organ was put up for sale in 2010. In 2014 it was restored and expanded by Wahl Organbuilders and transferred to the former Roman Catholic Church of Saint Patrick in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. This building is no longer in use as a church, but houses the Fond du Lac Learning Center. The organ was expanded by Wahl from 42 to 56 registers. It was put into service in 2015.
