Nombre local: Église Saint-François-Xavier

The Church of Saint Francis Xavier is located in the center of Paris. It is a nineteenth-century temple with a two-tower facade. Above its central part there is a tympanum with a bas-relief depicting the patron saint. Inside, you can see the preserved body of Saint Magdalena Zofia Barat, founder of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, placed in a glass coffin.

The church was built in the years 1861-1863. Its shape refers to renaissance and classicist models. It is a three-nave temple with a transept and a small dome above the intersection of the naves. Inside, it is decorated with polychromes and half-columns with carved capitals.

In the church there is a chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus with a painting depicting the Pope, bishops and ordinary people paying homage to him. Since 2009, the intact body of Saint Magdalena Zofia Bernat, who died in 1865, has been exhibited in the church. She founded the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
