The Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul (Les Réformés) is a Roman Catholic church in Marseille, France.
Location
It is located off the top of the Canebière, in the Thiers district[1][2] The exact address is 2-3 Cours Franklin Roosevelt, an avenue named for American President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945).[1][3][4]>
History
It was built on a demolished convent and chapel of Reformed Augustinians, which explains why it is commonly known as "Les Réformés" despite being a Roman Catholic church.[1][2] The church building itself was designed by the architect François Reybaud and the abbey Joseph-Guillaume Pougnet, and built from 1855 to 1886.[1][5] It is neogothic, with ogival curbs in the ceiling.[1] The architects took inspiration from the Reims Cathedral and the Amiens Cathedral.[5] The two arrows are 70 metre high.
The bronze gates were designed by Caras-Latour, the high altar was designed by Jules Cantini (1826-1916), and the stained windows were designed by Édouard Didron (1836-1902).[1] Additionally, sculptor Louis Botinelly (1883-1962) designed the statues of Joan of Arc and of Jesus.[1] As for the organ pipes, they were made by Joseph Merklin (1819–1905).[1]
In the 1980s, due to low attendance, it came under the threat of being demolished.[2] However, in recent years, it has achieved record levels of mass attendance.[2]
At present
The church building is open every day from 09.00 to 12.00 and from 13.00 to 16.30, except on Sundays.[3] Mass is every weekday at 18.30. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday it is also celebrated at 12:10. On Sunday mass is said at 10:30.[3] On the last Sunday of November, Mass is said in Provençal dialect to celebrate the santon traditionally used in Christmas cribs in houses in Provence.[1]
The current priest is Fr. Philippe Rochas [3]
