In 1992, the bishop of the diocese of Nanterre entrusted the Parish of Saint Cécile in Boulogne-Billancourt to the Brothers of Saint John.

Sundays for the curious:
For a number of years the Parish of Saint-Cécile has organised an original missionary initiative called ‘Sundays for the curious’.
The idea is to encourage the parish faithful to invite a friend, neighbour, colleague or family member to come and discover what it is they experience every Sunday and to encounter Christ who can change their life. There is a specially adapted welcome reception, liturgy and homily, etc., so that those who are ‘curious’ can discover Christ and His Church in the most favourable conditions.
