Why pilgrims come
Visit the resting place and legacy of St. Vincent de Paul
The Lazarist motherhouse chapel built to receive the relics of St. Vincent de Paul, whose body is venerated above the high altar.
This chapel turns Paris’s Catholic history toward service of the poor. Pray at St. Vincent de Paul’s body, then connect his witness with St. Louise de Marillac and the Daughters of Charity at Rue du Bac nearby.
