favorite spiritual retreats, the Convent of the Daughters of Charity, at 140 rue du Bac. The Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is there and it is one of the best places to hear Mass in French. Paris is filled with marvelous churches, both active and inactive. Saint-Germain-des-Pres is another spiritual touchstone for us and we often duck in there to light a candle or hear Mass. Often, we crave a Mass in English and make the trek on foot to the top of the Champs Elysees and Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church, at 50 Avenue Hoche. Passionist Father Melvin Shorter gives a soul stirring homily that will leave you breathless! Another favorite church with breathtaking stained glass windows is Sainte Chapelle, part of the Palais du Justice complex on the Right Bank in the heart of Central Paris. While Mass is no longer held there they have marvelous concerts in the evenings where Vivaldi and Pachelbel’s Canon transport you to another place and time. Log onto Classictic.com for tickets.
