  • Saint Peter is a concrete building in the commune of Firminy, France. The last major work of French Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier, it was completed in 2006, 41 years after his death.<br />
Designed to be a church in the model city of Firminy Vert, the construction of Saint-Pierre was begun in 1971, six years after Le Corbusier's death in 1965. Due to local political conflicts it remained stalled from 1975 to 2003, when the local government declared the mouldering concrete ruin an "architectural heritage" and financed its completion. It has been used for many different purposes, as a secondary school and as a shelter. As the laicist French state may not use public funds for religious buildings, Saint-Pierre is now used as a cultural venue.<br />
The building was completed by French architect José Oubrerie, Le Corbusier's student for many years.<br />
<br />
L'église Saint-Pierre de Firminy est une église catholique située à Firminy dans la Loire en France.<br />
Cette église est un bâtiment en béton situé dans la commune de Firminy, c'est un des derniers projets de l'architecte Le Corbusier. Le Corbusier l'a conçu pour être une église dans la ville modèle de Firminy Vert, voulue en 1953 par l'ancien maire Eugène Claudius-Petit qui fut ministre de la Reconstruction et de l'urbanisme. La construction de Saint-Pierre a commencé en 1970, cinq ans après la mort de Le Corbusier. Elle a été achevée 41 ans après sa mort le 26 novembre 2006. Cependant, le bâtiment n'est pas officiellement une église ; il sert surtout à témoigner de l'oeuvre architecturale de Le Corbusier.

  • ROME, ITALY - JUNE 03: Illustration of Rome; Italy on June 03, 2012. The Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius is dedicated to the founder of the Jesuit order. .The Collegio Romano opened very humbly in 1551, with an inscription over the door summing up its simple purpose: "School of Grammar, Humanity, and Christian Doctrine. Free". .The church has a Latin cross plan with numerous side chapels. The building was inspired by the Jesuit mother church, the Church of the Gesù. The imposing order of Corinthian pilasters that rings the entire interior, the theatrical focus on the high altar at the rear of the broad eastern apse, the church's colored marbles, animated stucco figural relief, richly ornamented altars, extensive gilding, and bold Tromp l'oeil paintings in the "dome" at its crossing and in the nave ceiling all produce a festive, sumptuous effect. The church stages the triumph of its dedicatee most effectively.

Here are some photos of these different missions, mostly with regard to orphans of Rwanda and the mission with Marie Jose Perrec and Marie Jose Lallart (UNESCO)<br />
Here, inside a church. Many orphanages are run by priests.<br />
The Catholic Church is very present in Rwanda.

  • ROME, ITALY - JUNE 03: Illustration of Rome; Italy on June 03, 2012..Santa Maria in Aracoeli..The Basilica of St. Mary of the Altar of Heaven is a titular basilica in Rome, located on the highest summit of the Campidoglio. It is still the designated Church of the city council of Rome, which uses the ancient title of Senatus Populusque Romanus. The present Cardinal Priest of the Titulus Sancta Mariae de Aracoeli is Salvatore De Giorgi..A medieval legend claimed that the church was built over an Augustan Ara primogeniti Dei, in the place where the Tiburtine Sibyl prophesied to Augustus the coming of the Christ. A later legend substituted an apparition of the Virgin Mary. In the Middle Ages, condemned criminals were executed at the foot of the steps.

  • LYON, FRANCE - January 01: The " gospel rock" is coming in France. January 01,2011<br />
<br />
Transforming a chapel as a concert hall and renew the church, is the challenge created by the meeting of Benjamin and Thomas POUZIN with Father David GREA newly appointed to Lyon.<br />
Supported by Philippe Barbarin, Cardinal Primate of the Gauls and Lyon, they have been to Rome to offer two of their albums to the Pope.<br />
<br />
One of their aims: decomplex faith.<br />
<br />
Largely inspired by Hill Song Church in Sydney, which attracts 22,000 people, their lyrics speak of God and they go straight to the point.<br />
<br />
Originally founded in 2001 with their brother Aurelian, this band was a flying start with over 35,000 sales on their first album.<br />
"Christian music is a very small community in France," said Benjamin POUZIN. Ordinarily, 3000 sales, is a success, while all records sold in France, all styles, is hardly what sells in the U.S. in Christian music, 20% of their market. "<br />
<br />
"The aim is that people sing with us. We make a pop-rock music, a little bit like Coldplay, but our texts refer to God, "<br />
"Our success is proof that we need to renew some way to proclaim the faith.<br />
And it was something very expected by the Christians.<br />
Our audience has so many fervent Christians that people who practice just a little bit the religion. "<br />
<br />
"We are the first group of Pop Praise Made in World Youth Day," said Benjamin. During the WYD, we found lot of evangelical groups, for most Protestants, this movement being the most important for this style of music.<br />
This music has existed since the 60s in the U.S. but now it only happens here. We are the pioneers in Catholic circles to have "released" our electric guitars. At that time, in France,  it was without precedent."<br />
With four albums they have made over 100,000 sales and regularly give free concerts in Lyon Center, Rue de Conde.<br />
Their dream: rent the Halle Tony Garnier every week and fill it with free concerts.

  • ROME, ITALY - JUNE 03: Illustration of Rome; Italy on June 03, 2012..Santa Maria in Aracoeli..The Basilica of St. Mary of the Altar of Heaven is a titular basilica in Rome, located on the highest summit of the Campidoglio. It is still the designated Church of the city council of Rome, which uses the ancient title of Senatus Populusque Romanus. The present Cardinal Priest of the Titulus Sancta Mariae de Aracoeli is Salvatore De Giorgi..A medieval legend claimed that the church was built over an Augustan Ara primogeniti Dei, in the place where the Tiburtine Sibyl prophesied to Augustus the coming of the Christ. A later legend substituted an apparition of the Virgin Mary. In the Middle Ages, condemned criminals were executed at the foot of the steps.

  • LYON, FRANCE - January 01: The " gospel rock" is coming in France. January 01,2011<br />
<br />
Transforming a chapel as a concert hall and renew the church, is the challenge created by the meeting of Benjamin and Thomas POUZIN with Father David GREA newly appointed to Lyon.<br />
Supported by Philippe Barbarin, Cardinal Primate of the Gauls and Lyon, they have been to Rome to offer two of their albums to the Pope.<br />
<br />
One of their aims: decomplex faith.<br />
<br />
Largely inspired by Hill Song Church in Sydney, which attracts 22,000 people, their lyrics speak of God and they go straight to the point.<br />
<br />
Originally founded in 2001 with their brother Aurelian, this band was a flying start with over 35,000 sales on their first album.<br />
"Christian music is a very small community in France," said Benjamin POUZIN. Ordinarily, 3000 sales, is a success, while all records sold in France, all styles, is hardly what sells in the U.S. in Christian music, 20% of their market. "<br />
<br />
"The aim is that people sing with us. We make a pop-rock music, a little bit like Coldplay, but our texts refer to God, "<br />
"Our success is proof that we need to renew some way to proclaim the faith.<br />
And it was something very expected by the Christians.<br />
Our audience has so many fervent Christians that people who practice just a little bit the religion. "<br />

  • Saint Peter is a concrete building in the commune of Firminy, France. The last major work of French Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier, it was completed in 2006, 41 years after his death.<br />
Designed to be a church in the model city of Firminy Vert, the construction of Saint-Pierre was begun in 1971, six years after Le Corbusier's death in 1965. Due to local political conflicts it remained stalled from 1975 to 2003, when the local government declared the mouldering concrete ruin an "architectural heritage" and financed its completion. It has been used for many different purposes, as a secondary school and as a shelter. As the laicist French state may not use public funds for religious buildings, Saint-Pierre is now used as a cultural venue.<br />
The building was completed by French architect José Oubrerie, Le Corbusier's student for many years.<br />
<br />
L'église Saint-Pierre de Firminy est une église catholique située à Firminy dans la Loire en France.<br />
Cette église est un bâtiment en béton situé dans la commune de Firminy, c'est un des derniers projets de l'architecte Le Corbusier. Le Corbusier l'a conçu pour être une église dans la ville modèle de Firminy Vert, voulue en 1953 par l'ancien maire Eugène Claudius-Petit qui fut ministre de la Reconstruction et de l'urbanisme. La construction de Saint-Pierre a commencé en 1970, cinq ans après la mort de Le Corbusier. Elle a été achevée 41 ans après sa mort le 26 novembre 2006. Cependant, le bâtiment n'est pas officiellement une église ; il sert surtout à témoigner de l'oeuvre architecturale de Le Corbusier.

  • Cathedrale du Puy en Velay - Le Puy Cathedral<br />
La cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation du Puy-en-Velay est un monument majeur de l'art roman et de l'Occident chrétien. Elle a été érigée en basilique mineure par un bref apostolique de Pie IX, le 11 février 1856.<br />
<br />
Une Vierge noire, objet de nombreux pèlerinages au cours des siècles, trône sur un maître-autel baroque. L'actuelle effigie remplace celle qui aurait été offerte par Saint Louis à son retour de la croisade d’Égypte, et qui fut brûlée lors de la Révolution française.<br />
<br />
La cathédrale fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621. Elle a été inscrite en 1998 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO au titre des chemins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle en France.<br />
<br />
Le Puy Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame du Puy) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, in Le Puy-en-Velay, Auvergne. It has been a centre of pilgrimage in its own right since before the time of Charlemagne, as well as forming part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Since 1998 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as part of the "Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France".<br />
<br />
