Шаблон:Infobox church The Chapel of the Oblates (fr: "Chapelle des Oblats") is a Roman Catholic chapel in Aix-en-Provence.
Location
It is located on the Place Forbin, at the top of the Cours Mirabeau.[1][2]
History
The chapel was built on a former convent for the Carmelites, a Roman Catholic order, built in 1625.[1][3] The new chapel building was designed by Thomas Veyrier (1658-1736) and constructed from 1695 to 1701.[1] The facade was designed by Laurent Vallon (1652-1724) in 1697.[1]
It continued to serve as a convent for the Carmelites until the French Revolution of 1789.[3] Shortly after, Saint Eugène de Mazenod (1782-1861), the founder of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a Roman Catholic order, purchased it and used it to train young priests and re-evangelize peasants throughout Provence.[2][3] Inside the church, there is a sculpture of Saint Mazenod.
It has been listed as a monument historique since 1911.[1]
At present
It serves as the international home of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.[3] It is served by four priests and one brother.[3] Mass is said every weekday at 7am, and on Sundays at 9am and 11am.[3]
