Basilica of the visitation - Annecy (Haute-Savoie) France
This sanctuary, built in 1930, attracts many pilgrims for the Saint Francois celebrations (24th January) and during the Great novena (grande neuvaine) in August. Lavishly decorated inside, the sanctuary keeps relics of St Francois de Sales and St Jeanne de Chantal, the patron Saints of the town. The Church also has a carillon of 28 bells.
The Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary or the Visitation Order is a Roman Catholic religious order for women. Members of the order are also known as the Salesian Sisters or, more commonly, as the Visitandines.
The Order was founded in 1610 by Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Jane Frances de Chantal in Annecy, Haute-Savoie, France. The special charism of the Visitation Order combines gentleness with a valiant spirit; initiative with communal support; dedication to prayer with presence in the world; a contemplative life with an apostolic dimension.
