Chapelle Saint-Vincent-de-Paul
Saint Vincent de Paul was born in 1581 and after early years of study,
graduated in theology and was ordained in 1600 at the age of 19. In
1617 he founded the "Ladies of Charity" from a group of women within his
parish who came to be known as the Daughters of Charity of Saint
Vincent de Paul.
He worked for some time in Paris among imprisoned galley-slaves, and established a group known as the Vincentians, priests with vows of poverty, chastity, obedience. The Vincentians (also known as Lazarists) are today present in over 80 countries.

Hello Genie
Wishing you a blessed New Year.

Beautiful window!
Another lovely, lovely chapel. I especially like the curved lighting--very unusual.
In his times in Paris, «Louis» overlooked this gem!
Lovely! The almost photographic quality stained glass insets are most intriguing! Bon dimanche ma chère amie!
Beautiful, Genie
Interesting information and a beautiful photo Genie! Happy New Year to you!!! Looking forward to more of your lovely Paris photos in 2014.
What a glorious window! And thanks for the info. Such accompanying explanations really make a picture come to life :)
Looks absolutely beautiful!

That is exquisite!
We stayed just a few doors from here last year. I made sure to visit, having seen several of your photos. I was blown away. I must do a post about it sometime soon. But then of course I still have lots to explore about Paris.
