Saint Theresa Chapel at the Auteuil Foundation, Gothic Revival chapel in 16th arrondissement, France

Saint Theresa Chapel is a Gothic Revival structure located on rue Jean-de-la-Fontaine, distinguished by pointed arches, vertical lines, and ribbed vaulting. The building forms part of the Auteuil Foundation campus and stands as a formal religious structure within a residential setting.

The chapel was built in 1925 as part of the Auteuil Foundation's facilities. It arose during a period when the organization was expanding its buildings to support its mission of providing education to disadvantaged children.

The chapel is the first sanctuary dedicated to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, consecrated in 1925 after her beatification. It holds relics given by the Carmel of Lisieux and the tomb of Blessed Daniel Brottier, to whom a transept is dedicated. Four times a year, "Soirées T*" evenings are held for prayer around the saint, and a "Semaine Thérésienne" precedes her feast on 1 October.

The chapel stands inside the grounds of the Auteuil Foundation at 40 rue Jean-de-la-Fontaine, in the 16th arrondissement; the entrance opens onto the street. It is a working place of worship, so visits fit around services. Look for the carved capitals showing the orphans' activities, and the transept dedicated to Father Brottier.

The chapel holds relics of Thérèse of Lisieux given in 1923 by the Carmel of Lisieux, and the tomb of Daniel Brottier, who died in 1936. A transept is dedicated to him. The first Mass was celebrated here on 25 December 1925.
