Notre-Dame-du-Perpétuel-Secours

The Redemptorists, to whom it was entrusted, installed a copy of the Roman icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help here on 8 November 1874, and the church took its name. The present building, designed in 1896 by a Redemptorist, Brother Gérard Grunblatt, is neo-Gothic and was built in the 1890s in a quarter then growing fast; the litanies of the Virgin are inscribed on its carved capitals. Paul VI made it a minor basilica in 1966. The photograph shows the nave and its carved capitals.
