Known as the Little French Church, the parish is steps from the Green Line's 10th Street station and preserves French and French-Canadian heritage through its art, windows, patron, and history. Its school began in 1873, and parish children later raised funds for an altar with imagery tied to Communion and Saint Louis IX. Parking behind the church is limited; visitors with disabilities are advised to arrive early, while a larger weekend lot sits at 10th and Wabasha. Ministries include organ recitals after selected Tuesday Masses, rosary, a Monday novena, liturgical service, Communion for homebound people, and support for nearby Union Gospel Mission and Dorothy Day House. Transit is convenient, but drivers should review the official directions because one-way street and bike-lane changes affect nearby parking.
