Chapelle Saint-Thomas-des-Indiens, chapel located in La Réunion, in France

The Chapelle Saint-Thomas-des-Indiens is a small chapel in Saint-Denis on the island of La Reunion. The stone building has simple lines and plain walls, constructed between 1860 and 1865, and originally functioned as a place of worship, a school, and a community center.

The chapel was built between 1860 and 1865 by the Jesuits to evangelise and provide pastoral care for Tamil Indian labourers, with a Tamil-speaking Jesuit priest officiating and catechism taught there. The Reparatrice Sisters later ran it as a boarding school until the 1970s, after which it ceased to be a place of worship. It was fully listed as a supplementary historic monument on 22 October 1998, together with the garden ground, boundary wall and main gate.

The chapel served as a gathering place where Tamil workers could pray in their own language and maintain their cultural practices. It functioned as a community space that offered both spiritual comfort and social belonging to people far from their homeland.

The chapel stands on rue Monseigneur-de-Beaumont, directly opposite the Collège Saint-Michel, at the end of which is the parish church of Saint-Jacques. The facade with its bell-cote and the unglazed window crossed by a railing are best seen from the street; a spiked white fence runs along the base. The building is no longer a place of worship and hosts exhibitions and cultural activities.

The chapel is listed in full as a monument historique since 22 October 1998, together with its garden ground, boundary wall and main entrance gate. It now hosts exhibitions and other cultural activities rather than worship, having ceased to be a place of worship after the Reparatrice sisters left in the 1970s.
