Sanctuaire Sainte-Thérèse d’Auteuil

In 1923 the Spiritan Daniel Brottier took over the work for orphan apprentices founded by the abbé Louis Roussel in 1866 and placed it under the protection of Thérèse of Lisieux. He began this chapel in 1924, to designs by the architect Henri Chailleux and his son; it was consecrated in 1930. Neo-Gothic and of modest proportions, it is lit by some fifty windows by the Mauméjean brothers, dated 1927, among them a façade rose of the shower of roses Thérèse promised. Thérèse appears in the photograph in a statue group with children.
