    • The Church of Saint-Ignace is a large Roman Catholic chapel located at 33 Rue de Sèvres in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. Is is dedicated to Saint Ignace de Loyola, founder of Companions of Jesus, or Jesuits.
      The church was built between 1855 and 1858, following the plans of the Jesuit father and architect Magloire Tournesac (1805–1875). It is built in the Neo-Gothic style.
      Though it is not formally a parish church, the jesuit fathers carry out the liturgical and pastoral duties. The church is also connected with the Centre Sèvres, the faculty of philosophy and theology for the Jesuits of Paris.
      Some of the art in the church depicts the martyrdom of Jesuit missionaries in Japan in the 1860s.
