“Did you hear about the two schools that merged in Monaco?” a student whispers to another, glancing at the Église des Franciscains. Yes, the very same Église des Franciscains witnessed a fascinating historical event. Back in 1993, the Institution Saint-Maur and the Collège Franciscain, two prominent Catholic schools, decided to pool their legacies. This monumental decision unfolded right here, where the Église des Franciscains stands. The merger produced the Institution François d’Assise – Nicolas Barré, a name honouring Saint Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscans, and Blessed Nicolas Barré of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Child Jesus. This unification wasn’t merely administrative; it was a symbolic merging of traditions, values, and aspirations. The Église des Franciscains didn’t just witness this event. It became a silent partner, a steadfast presence in the ever-evolving narrative of education and faith in Monaco.
