The first chapel on this site was built in 1858 by the
Brothers of St. Vincent de Paul. The chapel was enlarged
in 1886, but destroyed in 1969, as for the orphanage, it
was replaced by the "Foyer Le Prévost".
The new church was erected between 1963 and 1965,
according to the plans of the architects Henri Colboc and
Jean Dionis du Séjour. It is built on old quarries and rests
on twenty-six masonary wells. It was consecrated by
Bishop Brot on September 19, 1965.
This instrument of 13 stops was installed by Danion-
Gonzalez in 1973, replacing a smaller model of the
same builder with 8 stops, which was installed during
the construction of this church.
In 2018, the parish asked for the instrument to be more
present and more powerful. Finally, it was decided to
keep the instrument as such, if not to put the Trumpet
8 of the GO in the Swell, replacing the Cymbal and
especially to install a Montre 8 to the GO in beautiful
tin, in a sober buffet, fitting perfectly with the building.
The stop registers were electrified, as a combinator was
demanded. The transmission of notes from the
manuals and pedals remained mechanical with
compensators, so as to maintain a regular sinking,
whatever the weather conditions. Thus, it guarantees a
perfect synchronization of the newly installed contacts,
making the 19 new digital stops talk.
Many thanks to Mr Bernard Dargassies for this
information.
