“The stained glass here tells a fascinating story,” I whispered, my voice hushed in the echoing vastness of Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-La-Salle. “It’s not about kings or conquests, but a humble priest.” The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-La-Salle, tucked away in Paris’s 15th arrondissement, isn’t your typical grand cathedral. Built in 1909, it stands as a testament to a different kind of legacy. This church honors Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, a 17th-century priest who dedicated his life to educating poor children. Look closely at the windows. Notice the vibrant colors and intricate details? Each pane, crafted by Jacques-Charles Champigneulle, depicts a scene from La Salle’s life. You’ll see his baptism, his first communion, even his death and eventual canonization. But the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-La-Salle holds more than just stunning stained glass. Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a magnificent mosaic in the apse. Crafted by Marcel Imbs in 1935, it’s a vibrant tribute to the enduring work of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, the order La Salle founded. They revolutionized education, making it accessible to all, not just the elite. Their legacy lives on in countless schools around the world. Even today, they continue to champion education as a powerful tool for change.
