St. Francis de Sales Church

Saint Francis de Sales Parish United by the Most Blessed Sacrament is a Catholic Church located at 47th St. and Springfield Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, not too far from the University of the Sciences and the University of Pennsylvania. The parish was founded in 1890. The church was constructed between 1907 and 1911, in Byzantine Romanesque style, with an imposing multicolour Guastavino dome, which makes it a neighbourhood landmark and an anchor in the community.

The people who built the church, long ago, also built the neighbourhood around it. These are some of their stories and the stories of the people who came after them. Hope you enjoy them!
