St Joseph Church (Marseille 6e)

The development of the city of Marseille at the beginning of the 19th century, with the creation of new districts, necessitated the construction of new parishes, particularly in the southern districts with the building of new churches. Authorization to build the church of Saint Joseph was given by Bishop Charles-Fortuné de Mazenod on August 14, 1831, who appointed Abbot Abbot Abbat as rector.
