Église Sainte-Cécile de Boulogne-Billancourt, Catholic church in Boulogne-Billancourt, France

The église Sainte-Cécile de Boulogne-Billancourt is a church featuring neoclassical architecture in a suburb of Paris. Its interior is divided by Tuscan columns into a central nave and side aisles, which are decorated with wooden statues.

A patronage chapel dedicated to the Enfant-Jésus first stood on this site. The present neoclassical church was built over a large crypt, with a central nave separated from the side aisles by Tuscan columns. It became a parish church in 1963 and was restored in 1965. Since 1993 it has been an autonomous parish entrusted to the Brothers of the Saint-Jean Congregation.

The church is dedicated to Saint Cecilia, patron saint of musicians, whose wooden statue holding a lyre stands in the right side aisle. Since 1992 the parish has been administered by the Fathers of the Saint-Jean Community, who opened the Priory of Sainte-Geneviève there, offering formation sessions and spiritual vigils.

The church stands at 44 rue de l'Est, a short walk from Boulogne-Jean Jaurès station on metro line 10. The entrance is reached behind a balcony with a black metal railing, above a lower level with an open bay. The building is elevated over a large crypt, so expect steps between street and nave.

The three bells were blessed on Easter Monday, 5 April 2021, by Monseigneur Rougé, bishop of Nanterre, and the new bell tower was inaugurated on 22 January 2023 in his presence. The bells are tuned Ré 4 (Cécile, about 130 kg), Fa # 4 (Jean, about 65 kg) and La 4 (Geneviève, about 40 kg).
