Saint Francis of Assisi Church,

About

The Saint-François-d'Assise Catholic Church is located on Rue de Mouzaya in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. It is dedicated to St Francis of Assisi to commemorate the seven hundred years of the creation of the Third Order of St Francis (founded in 1222). There was previously a chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur, but as a result of the demographic expansion of the neighbourhood, the diocese purchased land to build a new church. Work began in 1914 and was interrupted during the war and resumed in 1919.
