Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption de Passy

In 1881 the Pères de la Miséricorde built a chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-la-Miséricorde, and in 1895 the architect Le Maire enlarged it with a new choir under a dome modeled on Saint Peter’s in Rome. Closed in 1902 when the religious were expelled, it reopened for worship in 1907, became a parish in 1914 and took its present name in 1928. The photograph shows the parish memorial to its dead of 1914 to 1918, by Charles Desvergnes, which still bears the name of Notre-Dame-de-la-Miséricorde.
