Diocese of Saint-Etienne inaugurates Saint-Vincent de Paul space

The Notre-Dame-de-la-Joie parish inaugurated the Saint-Vincent de Paul space on Sunday, September 27, at 2 rue des Adieux. The event followed a mass at Sainte-Barbe church and included parishioners, local officials, the rector of the great mosque, and the president of the Saint-Vincent de Paul conferences.

The parish created the space to preserve the name of Saint Vincent de Paul, who serves as an inspiration for the community's social work, following the unification of two previous parishes. The building serves as a parish house for prayer and funeral preparations, while also hosting school support, food distribution, and various community meetings and social gatherings.
