ocated in the very heart of Paris, near Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Church of Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet is currently served pastorally by priests of the Sacerdotal Fraternity of Saint-Pie-X founded in 1970 by Monsignor Marcel Lefebvre.
The specificity of the Church of Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet consists in that the liturgy is exclusively celebrated there according to the traditional Latin rites of the Catholic Church as they existed all over the world on the eve of the Second Vatican Council.
