Sainte-Rita Chapel

About

The Sainte-Rita Catholic Chapel is located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.

History: Linked to the Church of the Holy Trinity, it is dedicated to Saint Rita de Cascia. Since 1956, Sainte-Rita has been intended to welcome prostitutes from the neighborhood, but with the gradual disappearance of these, the chapel receives a diverse population. However the prostitutes of the Bois de Boulogne also frequent the places, and Saint Rita is known to intercede in favor of the most serious or difficult or even desperate causes.
